Here is the V6 patchset for supporting kexec kernel efi runtime.
Per pervious discussion I pass the 1st kernel efi runtime mapping
via setup_data to 2nd kernel. Besides of the runtime mapping
info I also pass the fw_vendor, runtime, config table, smbios
physical address in setup_data. EFI spec mentioned fw_vendor,
runtime, config table addresses will be converted to virt address
after entering virtual mode, but we will use it as physical address
in efi_init. For smbios EFI spec did not mention about the address
updating, but during my test on a HP workstation, the bios will
convert it to Virt addr, thus pass it in setup_data as well.

For fw_vendor, runtime, config table, I export them in /sys/firmware/
efi/, smbios is already in /sys/firmware/efi/systab.

For efi runtime mapping I add a new directory /sys/firmware/efi/
runtime-map/ like below
[dave@darkstar ~]$ tree /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/
/sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/
|__ 0
|   |__ attribute
|   |__ num_pages
|   |__ phys_addr
|   |__ type
|   |__ virt_addr
|__ 1
[snip]

kexec-tools will assemble them as setup_data and pass to 2nd kernel.
I will send userspace patches as well.

Limitation is I only write support for x86_64, test on below machines:
Lenovo thinkpad t420
Dell inspiron 14 - 3421
HP Z420 workstation
Qemu + OVMF

The patches are based on linus tree + matt's efi master tree

Changes from v1:
add one flag in xloadflags, so kexec-tools can safely load old kernel
without efi support.
coding style fixes
function name for map phys_addr to fixed virt_addr
Add ABI documentation for sysfs files

Changes from v2:
01/09: a new patch to remove unused variables in __map_region function
       catched by Toshi Kani
09/09: a new patch to export x86 boot_params to sysfs instead of use
       debugfs files
Matt: reuse __map_region instead do same thing in another function.
      add a wrapper function efi_map_region_fixed [02/09]
      check return value of krealloc
      sysfs dir name s/efi-runtime-map/runtime-map [06/09]
      use desc_size in efi_runtime_map
      for the xloadflags defination: +&& defined(CONFIG_KEXEC)
Greg: sysfs : one file one value for fw_vendor, runtime, tables. [05/09]
      Document them in ABI testing
HPA:  Document the new xloadflag
Also there's other function cleanup and improvement for error handling.

Changes from v3:
Greg: sysfs code move to use __ATTR_RO and attr_group
Boris: comments and code alignment

Added 3 new patches below
10-print-efi-runtime-memmap.patch
  - 10/12: print only runtime ranges in case EFI_DEBUG printing
11-reserve-setup-data-late.patch
  - fix a bug of kdump kernel, move function for reserving setup data
    ranges late after parsing memmap= cmdline params because kdump kernel
    will pass exact memmap late.
12-x86-kdebugfs-use-ioremap.patch
  - fix a bug of x86/kernel/kdebugfs.c, use ioremap instead of __va for
    low mem because __va does not work for exact memmap=

Changes from V4:
 - variable efi_setup in 09/14 is changed to the physical address instead of the virtual address
because it will be not iounmapped until entering virtual mode, it's too long and could cause
leak.
 - sparse warnings fixes (Matt):
   Added 2 new patches to addressing sparse warnings:
   01/14: x86-mm-sparse-warning-fix-for-early_memremap.patch
   02/14: efi-use-early_memremap-and-early_memunmap.patch
 - krealloc fixes (Boris)
 - rebase on top of Linus tree + Matt's efi master tree (Boris)
 - a lot of documention/spelling fixes (Boris)
 - share function save_runtime_map in 1st/2nd kernel code (Matt)
 - style and other fixes detail see the patch changelog themselves.

Changes from V5:
 - add efi_runtime_map_setup() and remove the extern variables thus other
   arches can reuse the runtime_map exporting code. (Matt)
 - check efi_reuse_config return value. (Matt)
 - move parse_efi_setup to efi_$(BITS).c (Boris)
 - call efi_runtime_map_init in efisubsys_init (Boris)
 - save_runtime_map cleanup. (Boris)

To Mark Salter:
Mark, I still sent the 1/14 memremap patch here for integrity. But feel
free to take it in your series.

The patches stay in kexec-efi-testing branch of below repo for testing:
https://github.com/daveyoung/linux.git
