x86/efi: Don't unmap EFI boot services code/data regions for EFI_OLD_MEMMAP and EFI_MIXED_MODE
The following commit:
d5052a7 ("x86/efi: Unmap EFI boot services code/data regions from efi_pgd")
forgets to take two EFI modes into consideration, namely EFI_OLD_MEMMAP and
EFI_MIXED_MODE:
- EFI_OLD_MEMMAP is a legacy way of mapping EFI regions into swapper_pg_dir
using ioremap() and init_memory_mapping(). This feature can be enabled by
passing "efi=old_map" as kernel command line argument. But,
efi_unmap_pages() unmaps EFI boot services code/data regions *only* from
efi_pgd and hence cannot be used for unmapping EFI boot services code/data
regions from swapper_pg_dir.
Introduce a temporary fix to not unmap EFI boot services code/data regions
when EFI_OLD_MEMMAP is enabled while working on a real fix.
- EFI_MIXED_MODE is another feature where a 64-bit kernel runs on a
64-bit platform crippled by a 32-bit firmware. To support EFI_MIXED_MODE,
all RAM (i.e. namely EFI regions like EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY,
EFI_LOADER_<CODE/DATA>, EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_<CODE/DATA> and
EFI_RUNTIME_CODE/DATA regions) is mapped into efi_pgd all the time to
facilitate EFI runtime calls access it's arguments in 1:1 mode.
Hence, don't unmap EFI boot services code/data regions when booted in mixed mode.
