[PATCH v5 7/8] arm64/efi: remove free_boot_services() and friends

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu Jan 08 2015 - 13:49:30 EST


Now that we are calling SetVirtualAddressMap() from the stub, there is no
need to reserve boot-only memory regions, which implies that there is also
no reason to free them again later.
