Re: [PATCH] x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls

Anyone care to refresh my memory why we can't use the "global" 1:1+kernel map, possibly with some improvements (which would benefit the users of those maps too)? With that I mean initial_page_map on i386 and trampoline_pgd on x86-64...
