[PATCH] x86: do not enable efi boot for sgi uv machine

[Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>]

kexec/kdump uefi support depends on the 1:1 mapping scheme
in 3.14 kernel but SGI reported that 1:1 mapping does not work on
their UV system. thus there's below commit to switch back to
old ioremap way for sgi uv machines.

So for kexec-tools before we got the 1:1 mapping support on those
machines we should also use old way that means boot 2nd kernel
without uefi.

Tested on a uv1 machine.

Here is the kernel commit to quirk out SGI UV:

    x86/efi: Quirk out SGI UV
    
    Alex reported hitting the following BUG after the EFI 1:1 virtual
    mapping work was merged,
    
     kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:351!
     invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

    Getting this thing to work with the new mapping scheme would need more
    work, so automatically switch to the old memmap layout for SGI UV.
