I "fixed" this with 
https://github.com/mjg59/grub-fedora/commit/21fcd6d79b7601e4b20ad70c5408adff2dabbc1d 
- doing the same in the kernel EFI stub would probably be the best way 
to handle it. This way you're guaranteed to stop DMA before the kernel 
reclaims boot services memory, which guarantees you won't have any 
corruption.
