The fixed virtual address scheme currently being looked at for x86_64 to
make SetVirtualAddressMap() kexec invariant doesn't work on 32 bit
because the address space isn't big enough.  For ARM, given that we've
much more opportunity to work with the vendors, can we just avoid
transitioning to a virtual address map and always just install a
physical mapping before doing efi calls?
