Booting on EFI with ESRT table has been stop since commit:
8e80632 efi/esrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() and avoid a kmalloc()
This is caused by this commit:
816e761 efi: Allow drivers to reserve boot services forever
Problem is, that efi_memmap_insert need memory aligned
on EFI_PAGE_SIZE. If memory not aligned, efi_memmap_insert
just return and let efi.memmap in inconsistent state.
This breaking boot.
Tested in my machine, which stop booting
after upgrade to 4.9
