This should be split into two patches, one to remove the duplicate
efi_mem_attributes() and the other to create the new efi_ioremap()
function.

Note that on x86 we don't leave the EFI memmap mapped throughout
runtime, it gets unmapped in efi_free_boot_services().

Which means that the second patch in this series isn't going to work
correctly if an error is reported after the kernel has finished booting.

It looks like arm64 leaves the EFI memmap mapped at runtime, right?
