A while back the following commit:

  d394f2d9 ("x86/platform/UV: Remove EFI memmap quirk for UV2+")

changed uv_system_init() to only call map_low_mmrs() on older UV1 hardware,
which requires EFI_OLD_MEMMAP to be set in order to boot.

The recent changes to the EFI memory mapping code in:

  d2f7cbe7 ("x86/efi: Runtime services virtual mapping")

exposed some issues with the fact that we were relying on the EFI memory
mapping mechanisms to map in our MMRs for us, after commit d394f2d9

.

Rather than revert the entire commit and go back to forcing
EFI_OLD_MEMMAP on all UVs, we're going to add the call to map_low_mmrs()
back into uv_system_init(), and then fix up our EFI runtime calls to use
the appropriate page table.

For now, UV2+ will still need efi=old_map to boot, but there will be
other changes soon that should eliminate the need for this.
