Ok, so I played around with it a bit and the following patch works
fine on my system. (I.E. image size is reasonable, cat
/sys/firmware/acpi/bgrt/image > img.bmp generates a valid,
non-distorted bitmap, which it did before too, btw as despite of the
ioremap WARN_ON the ioremap seems to succeed if !(is_ram &&
pfn_valid(pfn) && !PageReserved.)

The patch also includes a check for the status bit - if it's not 1,
the boot image cannot be assumed to be valid per the spec, so we just
ignore it in that case.

This also shouldn't impact other machines unless the page_is_ram check
is wrong - but that's copied straight out of ioremap.c!
