Ok, now I did this:

        for (i = 0; i < systab->nr_tables; i++) {
                acpi_physical_address table;
                void *config_tables;
                efi_guid_t guid;

                if ((unsigned long)systab->tables >> 32)			<---
                        asm volatile("1:\n jmp 1b");

                config_tables = (void *)(systab->tables + size * i);

It did stop at the endless loop there which would mean that
systab->tables is simply pointing somewhere into the weeds.

Asm is:

---
# arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:96: 			asm volatile("1:\n jmp 1b");
#APP
# 96 "arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c" 1
	1:
 jmp 1b
# 0 "" 2
#NO_APP
	movq	112(%rcx), %rdi	# systab_147->tables, _31
.L29:
# arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:98: 		config_tables = (void *)(systab->tables + size * i);
	addq	%r9, %rdi	# ivtmp.64, config_tables
# arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:104: 			guid = tmp_table->guid;
---

and RDI is

rdi            0x630646870

in gdb.

systab itself gets computed to something low: 0x3fedb010.

Hmmm. Could it be that that EDK BIOS image is buggy?

[    0.000000] efi: EFI v2.70 by EDK II
