Folks, please pull the following bugfix from Sai which prevents a
kernel panic when booting an EFI machine with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL
enabled.
This bug was reported last year by Dave Hansen,
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/5462999A.7090706@intel.com
and since nobody else has reported it, and given that it's only
triggerable with a debug config option, I figured this should be
targeted at v4.4.
The following changes since commit 0f96a99dab366333439e110d6ad253bc7c557c09:
efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option (2015-10-12 14:20:09 +0100)

x86/efi: Fix kernel panic when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled (2015-10-25 10:22:25 +0000)
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Fix a kernel panic by not passing EFI virtual mapping addresses to
__pa() in the x86 pageattr code. Since these virtual addreses are
not part of the direct mapping or kernel text mapping, passing them
to __pa() will trigger a BUG_ON() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is
enabled - Sai Praneeth Prakhya

From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled, all accesses to __pa(address) are
monitored to see whether address falls in direct mapping or kernel text
mapping (see Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt for details), if it does
not, the kernel panics. During 1:1 mapping of EFI runtime services we access
virtual addresses which are == physical addresses, thus the 1:1 mapping
and these addresses do not fall in either of the above two regions and
hence when passed as arguments to __pa() kernel panics as reported by
Dave Hansen here https://lkml.kernel.org/r/5462999A.7090706@intel.com.
So, before calling __pa() virtual addresses should be validated which
results in skipping call to split_page_count() and that should be fine
because it is used to keep track of everything *but* 1:1 mappings.
