Subject: [PATCH v4 08/26] x86/boot: Map memory explicitly

Implicit mappings hide possible memory errors, e.g. allocations for
ACPI tables were not included in boot page table size.

Replace all implicit mappings from page fault handler with
explicit mappings.

I agree with the motivation but this patch seems to break the boot
under SeaBIOS/QEMU, and I imagine other legacy BIOS boot scenarios as
well.

Naively, I would assume that there is simply a legacy BIOS region that
we fail to map here, but I am fairly clueless when it comes to non-EFI
x86 boot so take this with a grain of salt.

The below seems to help - not sure why exactly, but apparently legacy
BIOS needs the bootparams struct to be mapped writable?

I think I got too eager adding mappings to everything.
In the process_efi_entries() bootparams should already be mapped, so
I will just remove the call. And AFAIK bootparams is indeed gets
written to.
