That looks like

All code

pping instruction
  2e:   88 c3                   mov    %al,%bl
  30:   48 c1 e8 06             shr    $0x6,%rax
  34:   41 bd 01 00 00 00       mov    $0x1,%r13d

  3c:   83 e3 3f                and    $0x3f,%ebx

but why does this have anything to do with the EFI pagetable, at all?
The MMRs should be mapped in the normal kernel page table, right?

And your dirty fix of mapping into trampoline_pgd doesn't make any
sense...

How do the MMRs get mapped on that box exactly? And why aren't they
mapped in the normal kernel page table all of a sudden?

/me is confused and goes to bed.
