This is a bit of a head scratcher. Could you paste the EFI memmap
entries in your dmesg for the regions that cover 0x7ca95b10 and
0x7dbf2140?  My guess would be that they're EFI runtime code regions,
which would at least explain why we seem to be executing code in the
direct mapping region (0xffff8800xxxxxxxx).

Are you booting via the EFI boot stub?
