Right, the way I've done it now is to do the virtual mapping
unconditionally, then do the 1:1 mapping and call SetVirtualAddressMap
(f*cking camelcase is so nasty to type - that's why they need whole IDEs
to program :-)) with that map, if "efi=1:1_map" has been passed on the
cmd line.

After the call, we use *only* the 1:1 map but the virtual mapping is
still there.

The initial approach to addressing the b0rked Macs would then be to
never use the 1:1 map on them.
