Beginning with UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE was introduced
that signals that the firmware PE/COFF loader supports splitting
code and data sections of PE/COFF images into separate EFI
memory map entries. This allows the kernel to map those regions
with strict memory protections, e.g. EFI_MEMORY_RO for code,
EFI_MEMORY_XP for data, etc.
Unfortunately, an unwritten requirement of this new feature is
that the regions need to be mapped with the same offsets
relative to each other as observed in the EFI memory map. If
this is not done crashes like this may occur,
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffefe6086dd
IP: [<fffffffefe6086dd>] 0xfffffffefe6086dd
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff8104c90e>] efi_call+0x7e/0x100
[<ffffffff81602091>] ? virt_efi_set_variable+0x61/0x90
[<ffffffff8104c583>] efi_delete_dummy_variable+0x63/0x70

[<ffffffff81f37582>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xeb/0xef
Here 0xfffffffefe6086dd refers to an address the firmware
expects to be mapped but which the OS never claimed was mapped.
The issue is that included in these regions are relative
addresses to other regions which were emitted by the firmware
toolchain before the "splitting" of sections occurred at
runtime.
Needless to say, we don't satisfy this unwritten requirement on
x86_64 and instead map the EFI memory map entries in reverse
order. The above crash is almost certainly triggerable with any
kernel newer than v3.13 because that's when we rewrote the EFI
runtime region mapping code, in commit
