[Xen-devel] [GRUB2 PATCH v6 3/4 - FOR COMMIT] multiboot2: Do not pass memory maps to image if EFI boot services are enabled

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
