    x86/efi: earlyprintk=efi,keep fix · 34f51147

    earlyprintk=efi,keep will cause kernel hangs while freeing initmem like
    below:
    
      VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 254:2.
      devtmpfs: mounted
      Freeing unused kernel memory: 880K (ffffffff817d4000 - ffffffff818b0000)
    
    It is caused by efi earlyprintk use __init function which will be freed
    later.  Such as early_efi_write is marked as __init, also it will use
    early_ioremap which is init function as well.
    
    To fix this issue, I added early initcall early_efi_map_fb which maps
    the whole efi fb for later use. OTOH, adding a wrapper function
    early_efi_map which calls early_ioremap before ioremap is available.
    
    With this patch applied efi boot ok with earlyprintk=efi,keep console=efi
