arm64/efi: move SetVirtualAddressMap() to UEFI stub
In order to support kexec, the kernel needs to be able to deal with the state of the UEFI firmware after SetVirtualAddressMap() has been called. To avoid having separate code paths for non-kexec and kexec, let's move the call to SetVirtualAddressMap() to the stub: this will guarantee us that it will only be called once (since the stub is not executed during kexec), and ensures that the UEFI state is identical between kexec and normal boot. This implies that the layout of the virtual mapping needs to be created by the stub as well. All regions are rounded up to a naturally aligned multiple of 64 KB (for compatibility with 64k pages kernels) and recorded in the UEFI memory map. The kernel proper reads those values and installs the mappings in a dedicated set of page tables that are swapped in during UEFI Runtime Services calls.
