I don't have a machine that generates a BGRT, but I can see that efi_mem_type() call in efi_bgrt_init() would cause the same problems we have with kexec and acpi.

This can get called twice if uefi_init() fails after setting the EFI_BOOT flag, but this can only happen if the system table signature is wrong, (or we're out of memory really early).
I think this is harmless as we end up passing NULL to early_memunmap() which WARN()s and returns as its outside the fixmap range. Its just more noise on systems with a corrupt efi system table.
