Will do

Sure, just efi_setup_data is a bit long, will use efi_setup in next version.

Good suggestion, will do.

To make it more readable, I will change them like below:

p = efi_runtime_map;
md = efi_setup->map;
for (i = 0; i < nr_efi_runtime_map; i++) {
[...]
md += 1;
}

Yes, it is needed. if efi_runtime_map kmalloc fails I only print error, do not
return so kernel can still boot, just kexec on efi will not work that has been
put in the error message.

Good suggestion, will do.

Thanks for review
