Hi all,
this one is 64-bit only for now and it has been tested only in kvm with
OVMF.
Keeping in mind the ihnerent efi b0rkedness left and right, I'd like to
be very cautious and conservative with this and not hurry anything until
it has been actually very

Due to the braindead design of EFI, we cannot map runtime services more
than once for the duration of a booted system. Thus, if we want to use
EFI runtime services in a kexec'ed kernel, maybe the only possible and
sensible approach would be to map them 1:1 so
After quick testing it looks like this fixes the boot problem.
Boots with grub2 (EFI stubs), grub (no EFI stubs) and elilo.
Thanks!

I've just run Windows 8 under a hacked up copy of OVMF that dumps the
data passed to SetVirtualAddressMap. It seems that Windows *is* mapping
the runtime services to higher addresses - so presumably the 1:1 mapping
is in addition to the virtual mapping.
