This looks like it is papering over a more fundamental issue: any
memory region that the firmware itself needs to access during the
execution of runtime services needs to be described in the UEFI memory
map, with the appropriate annotations so that the OS knows it should
include these in the EFI runtime page tables. So why has this been
omitted in this case?
