Otherwise /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map is a copy for kexec-tools to
create the virtual efi memmap,  but I think the __map_region is called
after kexecing into the 2nd kernel, so I feel that at that time the
mem attr table should be usable.

Anyway thanks for explaining about this.  It is indeed something to
improve.  I have no strong opinion as your code will also work.
