Ok, then.

Let's wrap this in a new function which is called at the end of
__ioremap_check_mem() instead of trying to map EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
to IORES_DESC types and match the flags just so that we can preserve the
flow. And add a comment above it why we're doing this.

As you said on IRC, none of the IO resource ranges covers the
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA.

Thx.
