Am I correct in thinking that it's possible to have EFI_MEMMAP set but
not EFI_BOOT? That's not how things work on x86. EFI_BOOT means "I am an
EFI-enabled platform and I was booted using EFI."

In other words, EFI_MEMMAP should imply EFI_BOOT (how did you get the
memmap if you weren't booted using EFI?)

It looks like you should be setting EFI_BOOT (and EFI_64BIT) in
efi_init() if efi_get_fdt_params() succeeds.
