Hmm... this warning could be more informative. Perhaps something along
the lines of,

"SETUP_EFI not supported on 32-bit\n"

because the reason we skip is because it isn't supported.

Could we name this something more explicit? 'efi_setup' perhaps?

This isn't the correct multi-line comment format,

Would it make sense to move the ->smbios check inside efi_reuse_config()
in case we need to extend the number of tables in the future?

Heh, I read that as 'esdata->map + 1' the first few times.

Is this if () needed? Is it possible to enter the loop and have
'efi_runtime_map' be NULL?

Please fold the pr_alert() into the else branch so that you don't have
to do the 'status = EFI_SUCCESS' dance.
