EFI hosts are always LE so either is fine.

This is generally needed for compatibility with 32-bit hosts, where
casting a u64 to void* causes warnings, even though we know in that
case that only the lower 32 bits will contain anything (even with PAE
etc, as 32-bit UEFI only uses 32-bit addressable memory)

In this particular case, it probably makes little sense, as COCO is
not going to run on 32-bit hosts anyway (famous last words)

Yes. EFI boot services (as well as this code) are guaranteed to run
under a 1:1 mapping of system memory.

All boot services memory is implicitly freed when the system calls
ExitBootServices() so this is fine.
