Changing devmem_is_allowed so that on an EFI machine, access to physical
address below 1 MB is allowed only to physical pages that are valid in
the EFI memory map. This prevents the possibility of an MCE due to
accessing an invalid physical address.

Without this patch it is really hard to interpret a bounding set,

Non-existant capabilities can not be deleted from a bounding set
