For troubleshooting purposes I edited over your patch.
So far:

- (in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c) when making efi_get_time()
  return mach_get_cmos_time(), the system boots.

- then I tried to return mach_get_cmos_time() when efi.get_time()
  fails, ie. if (status != EFI_SUCCESS).
  The system does not boot: efi.get_time(), aka virt_efi_get_time(),
  does not return.

Maybe I can get more...
