Well, according to mjg59 some Macs break if we don't give them a map

I can imagine flipping the meaning of this option to be on by default
and "efi=no_11_map" to disable the 1:1 map for those Macs.

early. And of course, I can't reproduce it in qemu :(. If only I had a
hardware debugger...

It's all the same to me - I hate EFI with passion so whatever people
agree upon, I'll do it.
