Some time ago, we brought our UV BIOS callback code up to speed with the
new EFI memory mapping scheme, in commit:
d1be84a232e3 ("x86/uv: Update uv_bios_call() to use efi_call_virt_pointer()")
By leveraging some changes that I made to a few of the EFI runtime
callback mechanisms, in commit:
80e75596079f ("efi: Convert efi_call_virt() to efi_call_virt_pointer()")
This got everything running smoothly on UV, with the new EFI mapping
code. However, this left one, small loose end, in that EFI_OLD_MEMMAP
(a.k.a. efi=old_map) will no longer work on UV, on kernels that include
the aforementioned changes.
At the time this was not a major issue (in fact, it still really isn't),
but there's no reason that EFI_OLD_MEMMAP *shouldn't* work on our
systems. This commit adds a check into uv_bios_call, to see if we have
the EFI_OLD_MEMMAP bit set in efi.flags. If it is set, we fall back to
using our old callback method, which uses efi_call directly on the __va
of our function pointer.

Sure, no problem! I generally default to checking for the more common
condition first, but I definitely see how that makes the code kind of
hard to read, in this case.
I'll send another version shortly.
Thanks, Matt!

Could you please invert the conditional? I had to read it 3 times to
make sure it was correct given the comment that precedes it. E.g. this
is preferable,
if (efi_enabled(EFI_OLD_MEMMAP))
ret = efi_call((void *)__va(tab->function), (u64)which, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5);
else
ret = efi_call_virt_pointer(tab, function, (u64)which, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5);

Also, does 'which' have to be explicitly type-cast to u64? Doesn't the compiler DTRT?
