I may missed the background but I worry about who knows if it is meant
to be used for BGRT image. Some vendors could respect the BGRT valid
bit and just leave the address as a random address. And the random
address could be a valid physical address though. It is possible to
leak memory infomation. 

Could we reconsider about below commit? It may be a Windows 10 bug?

    x86/efi/bgrt: Don't ignore the BGRT if the 'valid' bit is 0

Thanks
