Another note-to-self, while I'm here: it is probably prudent to
be conservative here and keep the old runtime mapping method
in generic EFI code and behind a chicken bit, something like
"efi.use_old_runtime_mapping" or shorter so that people whose systems
break from the new mapping can fall back to the old, well-tested method.

Thanks.
