Sai Praneeth Prakhya 1debf0958f x86/efi: Don't unmap EFI boot services code/data regions for EFI_OLD_MEMMAP and EFI_MIXED_MODE
The following commit:

  d5052a7130a6 ("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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
