Yes, I'd like to start keeping these things separate.

I pushed a branch here

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi.git/log/?h=next

that changes the way uv_systab is handled, and moves it into arch/x86.
Please follow that pattern instead.

OK. My branch ^^^ moves this into arch/x86 as well, please add it there

Please add it to the arch_tables array in arch/x86 (if my assumption
is correct that this is x86-only)

Yes. Only user space needs to access this, so we can defer this to
later, when the normal memremap() functions are available.
