[PATCH] Remove warning in efi_enter_virtual_mode V2

2013-04-17 Thread Bryan O'Donoghue
Some EFI BIOS stores BGRT data in the wrong place and some EFI based BIOS also requires mapping of boot code/data when doing efi_enter_virtual_mode. Current code in efi_enter_virtual_mode maps both EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY and BIOS boot code/data. This patch gives the option to switch off that behavior
