It looks like this will cause regressions unless you also apply:

21cdb6b56843 x86/mm: Page align the '_end' symbol to avoid pfn conversion bugs
b61a76f8850d x86/efi: Map RAM into the identity page table for mixed mode
753b11ef8e92 x86/efi: Setup separate EFI page tables in kexec paths

and possibly also:

08914f436bdd x86/platform/UV: Bring back the call to map_low_mmrs in uv_system_init
683ad8092cd2 x86/efi: Fix 7-parameter efi_call()s
80e75596079f efi: Convert efi_call_virt() to efi_call_virt_pointer()
d1be84a232e3 x86/uv: Update uv_bios_call() to use efi_call_virt_pointer()
