[Xen-devel] [GRUB2 PATCH v4 3/4 - FOR REVIEW ONLY] multiboot2: Do not pass memory maps to image if EFI boot services are enabled

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Do not pass memory maps to image if it asked for EFI boot services.
Main reason for not providing maps is because they will likely be
invalid. We do a few allocations after filling them, e.g. for relocator
needs. Usually we do not care as we would already finish boot services.
If we keep boot services then it is easier to not provide maps. However,
if image needs memory maps and they are not provided by bootloader then
it should get them itself just before ExitBootServices() call.
