I don't think we'll ever use this region on UEFI. What I have from Intel
is:

"It looks like this is happening when the kernel iterates over the
various regions in the EFI memory map. It hits a region starting at
0xA0000 and attempts to do a CLFLUSH instruction on that address. This
is explicitly forbidden by the SAD in (codename), thus the Machine
Check."

Unsure. I'll try to find out.
