According to UEFI 2.6 section 7.5.3, the capsule should be in contiguous
virtual memory and firmware may consume the capsule immediately. To
correctly implement this functionality, the kernel driver needs to vmap
the entire capsule at the time it is made available to firmware.
The virtual allocation of the capsule update has been changed from kmap,
which was only allocating the first page of the update, to vmap and
allocates the entire data payload.

Looks OK to me but could you also update the comments above
efi_capsule_update() that mention the virtual mapping only being
required for the first page?
That's a great point. The comments will be updated in v2.
