Right, I don't think that even changing the spec would help - it would
actually make things worse because then we'd have to differentiate
between UEFI versions: those which can do SetVirtualaddressMap() more
than once and the older ones.

So let's drop the discussion here - it is what it is, it is too late to
change anything. At least we talked about it. :-)

Thanks.
