So this looks like you copied it from kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() which has
been discussed before to be not sufficient, but it can't be changed right

For this particular use case, this should not be an issue at all, so please
use the proper cpa_flush_*() variant.

While you are at it, can you please split the EFI part out into a separate
patch?
