      efi, x86: Pass a proper identity mapping in efi_call_phys_prelog · b8f2c21d
      Nathan Zimmer authored
      
      Update efi_call_phys_prelog to install an identity mapping of all available
      memory.  This corrects a bug on very large systems with more then 512 GB in
      which bios would not be able to access addresses above not in the mapping.
      
      The result is a crash that looks much like this.
