What about if you comment out the call to efi_dump_pagetable()? What
if you return early from efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings(), e.g.

diff --git a/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c b/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c
index 71121a9d06cf..e1f8ebb88f84 100644

@@ -177,6 +177,8 @@ void efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings(void)

sizeof(pgd_t) * num_pgds);

+ return;
+

Do either of those modifications make your kernel boot when you apply
the patch I sent on Friday? If so, which one? I'm struggling to find
hardware that's similar enough to reproduce this.
