Yes, you are right, this was what I had in mind:
--
if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {
+ for (p = efi_map_start; p < efi_map_end; p += efi_desc_size) {
+ md = p;
+ if ((md->attribute & EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME) &&
+ (md->attribute & EFI_MEMORY_UC) ||
+ (md->attribute & EFI_MEMORY_WC))
+ iounmap(md->virt_addr);
+ }
printk(KERN_WARNING "warning: unable to switch EFI into virtual
mode "
"(status=%lu)\n", status);
return;

Like this?

if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {

+ md->virt_addr = 0;

printk(KERN_WARNING "warning: unable to switch EFI into virtual

I fear the remainder of your review is beyond my scope. My field of
expertise is biomedical sciences :)
