Omar, could you try below patch? Looking at the efi_mem_desc_lookup, it is not
correct to be used in efi_arch_mem_reserve, if it passed your test, I
can rewrite patch log with more background and send it out:

for_each_efi_memory_desc(md) {
[snip]
if (!(md->attribute & EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME) &&
md->type != EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA &&
md->type != EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA) {
continue;
}

In above code, it meant to get a md of EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME of either boot
data or runtime data, this is wrong for efi_mem_reserve, because we are
reserving boot data which has no EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute at the
running time. Just is happened to work and we did not capture the error.
