Hmm, is this right? We only set EFI_BOOT if we find EFI parameters in the
DT (see efi_init -> uefi_init), so you run the risk of unmapping something
we never mapped here.

Furthermore, there seems to be a leak in uefi_init anyway, as we return
-EINVAL if the signature of the EFI table doesn't match without unmapping it
first.
