Subject: efi: Defer freeing boot services memory until after ACPI init
From: Josh Triplett <[email protected]>
commit 785107923a83d8456bbd8564e288a24d84109a46 upstream.
Some new ACPI 5.0 tables reference resources stored in boot services
memory, so keep that memory around until we have ACPI and can extract
data from it.
