Thinkpad e545 woes

I've decided to try my hand at solving
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195035, as it seems to
only affect me, or at least people have been quiet about it.

I've debugged the issue a bit and it is basically a SIGSEGV type of
event. In efi_clean_memmap efi.memmap.map returns pointer to address
0xfffffffffff200000, which is obviously wrong, after which any
attempts to validate
in efi_memmap_entry_valid cause a panic, because of bogus pointer.

Git bisects won't help much, because the issue was always present
apparently, it just wasn't fatal (as seen in dmesg attached to the
bug).

I am kinda new to kernel programming in general, so I am seeking
advice for debugging this.

Sincerely, Evgeny
