[RFC PATCH] Fix EFI callbacks on UV during kexec

2016-07-26 Thread Alex Thorlton
Hey everyone, This is a fix for our BIOS init code to skip mapping in runtime services when runtime_disabled == true. This is one that snuck under the radar for a while, since we were using EFI_OLD_MEMMAP for so long. I've explained the details of how it went unnoticed in the commit message.
