No need:

if (efi_va < EFI_VA_END) {
pr_warn(FW_WARN "VA address range overflow!\n");
return;
}

We already check we're not going over at map time. And our runtime
services range is hardcoded. And we're switching to that PGD on each
runtime services call.

So I don't see the point for keeping any of the assertions.

Unless you have other valid arguments for keeping them...
