x86/efi: Make efi virtual runtime map passing more robust
Currently, running SetVirtualAddressMap() and passing the physical address of the virtual map array was working only by a lucky coincidence because the memory was present in the EFI page table too. Until Toshi went and booted this on a big HP box - the krealloc() manner of resizing the memmap we're doing did allocate from such physical addresses which were not mapped anymore and boom: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1386806463.1791.295.camel@misato.fc.hp.com One way to take care of that issue is to reimplement the krealloc thing but with pages. We start with contiguous pages of order 1, i.e. 2 pages, and when we deplete that memory (shouldn't happen all that often but you know firmware) we realloc the next power-of-two pages. Having the pages, it is much more handy and easy to map them into the EFI page table with the already existing mapping code which we're using for building the virtual mappings. Thanks to Toshi Kani and Matt for the great debugging help.
