[Xen-devel] [GRUB2 PATCH v5 3/4 - FOR REVIEW ONLY] multiboot2: Do not pass memory maps to image if EFI boot services are enabled



If image requested EFI boot services then skip multiboot2 memory maps.
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 have finished boot services.
If we keep boot services then it is easier/safer to not provide maps.
However, if image needs memory maps and they are not provided by bootloader
then it should get itself just before ExitBootServices() call.
