I really think it's simply that since v4.6, we've had commit
67a9108ed431 ("x86/efi: Build our own page table structures"), so no
normal EFI use actually uses the old legacy mapping unless you passed
in "efi=old_map" on the kernel command line.

So the bug is there in all versions, it's just that it's normally only
noticeable in 4.4.

But I might be missing some other difference, so take that with a pinch of salt.

Linus
