Subject[PATCH] x86/efi: Fix kexec kernel panic when efi=old_map is enabled
Date
From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>

Booting kexec kernel with "efi=old_map" in kernel command line hits
kernel panic as shown below.

This happens because efi=old_map doesn't use efi_pgd but rather it uses
kernel's pgd. We don't hit the same panic in a regular kernel because
it uses old_map_region() and not __map_region().
