We attempted to upstream in the past but later I discovered that my
implementation in particular is causing warnings due to SMP. Also, I
need to implement an alternative or extension to the current
efi_map_region, which have the __init qualifier. This is because
mappings might happen after the __inits have been discarded. I have this
work currently in my scope.

Thanks and BR,
Ricardo
