Re: [PATCH] x86/efi: Add necessary checks before iterating over efi.memmap

Sorry for bothering you. There is a regression since commit 78ce248f that if
booting xen in UEFI mode, dom0 will crash and xen reboot constantly.
This patch tries to fix it. Please take a look at it.

Commit 78ce248f (efi: Iterate over efi.memmap in for_each_efi_memory_desc())
replaces the old loop by for_each_efi_memory_desc() which will encounter #PF
when efi.memap are not initialized.

In boot process, xen set EFI_PARAVIRT in xen_efi_init() before setup_arch()
is called. This leads efi_memmap_init() will not initialize structures
related to efi.memmap. However, the following functions e.g.
efi_find_mirror(), efi_print_memmap() and efi_free_boot_services() access
efi.memmap without necessary checks. kernel and xen crash in this case.
After adding these checks, xen and kernel boot up normally.
