Kexec bypasses EFI's switch to virtual mode. In exchange, it has its own
routine, kexec_enter_virtual_mode(), which replays the mappings made by
the original kernel. Unfortunately, that function fails to reinstate
EFI's memory attributes, which would've otherwise been set after
entering virtual mode. Remediate this by calling
efi_runtime_update_mappings() within kexec's routine.
