I am reading the code again and something doesn't sound right. The
original code calls efi_lookup_mapped_address.
It doesn't find the image address there - which is strange given that
on my system the address lies in mem type 4 as printed during boot.

Hmm. But then phys_to_virt on the same address succeeds and we can
read the image off of that.
I might need to do some debugging of efi_lookup_mapped_address to see
why it isn't finding it there. If it did find it there, none of the
ioremap issues would arise.

Yeah, for the status invalid case I think we would be better off just
ignoring it. Too much heuristic trickery required and it might not be
worth it after all that if the firmware didn't bother putting a proper
image in there.
