Commit b05b9f5f9dcf ("x86, mirror: x86 enabling - find mirrored memory ranges")
introduced mirrored memory support for x86 and this could be used on arm64.

Since we only support this feature on arm64, efi_find_mirror() won't be placed
into efi_init(), which is used by riscv/arm/arm64, it is added in setup_arch()
to scan the memory map and mark mirrored memory in memblock.
Move into efi_init() looks better, it won't bring negative effects on
arm/riscv.

but let's maintainer to make a decision.

I don't disagree with that in principle, but x86 calls the efi fake
memmap stuff between efi_init() and efi_find_mirror(), and I already
indicated that I don't want to enable fake memmap on !X86.

I mean move into efi_init() in drivers/firmware/efi/efi-init.c which only used

in arm32/arm64/riscv.


But I do think there is some room for improvement here: we could move
things like efi_mokvar_table_init() and efi_esrt_init() into
efi_init() as well, and make efi_fake_memmap() do nothing on !X86 so
we can move it into efi_init() too.

x86 has own efi_init() in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c, it seams that all the above

function could move into x86's own efi_init(), not sure, but we could do it later

if it possible.
