Did you use git bisect to find the above commit that introduced this
error message? Because while the error message itself was merged in
the above commit there were no users until commit 8e80632fb23f
("efi/esrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() and avoid a kmalloc()").
Can you apply the attached patch, boot your machine with the efi=debug
command line option and capture the dmesg output? It doesn't look like
your machine is booting using EFI.
