Hans reports that v5.6-rc1 triggers a WARN() when booting in mixed mode,
which appears to be due to the fact that a GUID argument allocated on
the vmap'ed stack and passed by reference to the EFI runtime services
is no longer aligned to its size, which is what the mixed mode runtime
wrappers expect.
Let's fix this in a way that doesn't burden the caller, and copy the
GUID into a suitably aligned buffer in the runtime wrappers. (#1)
Then, patches #2 and #3 are additional cleanup and correctness fixes
for the mixed mode runtime wrappers.
