The root cause of the hung IMO might be similar to 
commit 550b33cfd445296868a478e8413ffb2e963eed32

    arm64: efi: Force the use of SetVirtualAddressMap() on Altra machines

Do you agree with the idea if I add Ampere ”eMAG” machine into the list of
Using SetVirtualAddressMap() forcibly?

Please note that even in previous kernel patch, the efibootmgr -t 10 will make
kernel hung if I passed "efi=novamap" to the boot parameter.
