Actually, we do the 1:1 thing so that EFI runtime works in a kexec
kernel too. Which won't work if we use the high addresses.

However, if we can use the 1:1 map *after* SetVirtualAddressMap() has
been called with the high mappings, then my issue is solved - we drop
to using 1:1 in the kexec kernel only. But I don't think that is the
case...
