Other functions use different conditions.
The latter efi_memreserve_root == (void *)ULONG_MAX is correct?
static int __init efi_memreserve_map_root(void)
{
if (efi.mem_reserve == EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR)
return -ENODEV;
int __ref efi_mem_reserve_persistent(phys_addr_t addr, u64 size)
{
struct linux_efi_memreserve *rsv;
unsigned long prsv;
int rc, index;
if (efi_memreserve_root == (void *)ULONG_MAX)
return -ENODEV;

memremap() could fail with NULL as a return value.
You need to deal with such case.
It looks to me efi_mem_reserve_persistent() also doesn't deal with this.
Maybe you should fix this, too.

Is memreserve supported on 32-bit system?
If so, phy_addr_t could have a type of 4-byte length in such system
(not so if with PAE) and then %llx could lead to inconsistent type error.
It's enough to add a cast to unsigned long long.
