efi_get_memory_map() allocates a buffer to store the memory map that it
retrieves.  This buffer may need to be reused by the client after
ExitBootServices() is called, at which point allocations are not longer
permitted.  To support this usecase, provide the allocated buffer size back
to the client, and allocate some additional headroom to account for any
reasonable growth in the map that is likely to happen between the call to
efi_get_memory_map() and the client reusing the buffer.

Please don't include these tags in your patch submission - they don't
mean anything in the upstream kernel and there's always the chance
I'll forget to strip it before applying your patch.

Doh, sorry about that. I apparently was not as vigilant as I should have been. I'll make sure to strip it.

Isn't this chunk of code unnecessary now? If we think 8 entries is
enough headroom for all scenarios then there's no need to allocate 9.

I guess the original logic still made a bit of sense to me at the time, but I'm not attached to it. Will change.

static inline bool mmap_has_headroom(unsigned long buff_size,

Sure.
