I'm not sure I follow. The BGRT table only contains natively aligned
fields, so the alignment faults should not occur when accessing this
table after kexec. The issue addressed by this patch is that
efi_mem_type() bails when called while EFI_MEMMAP is cleared.

I guess we should check the EFI_MEMMAP attribute here as well then.
