  [    0.026978] efi_bgrt: Ignoring BGRT: failed to map image memory

early_memremap() has an upper limit on the size of mapping it can
handle which is ~200KB. Clearly the BGRT image on Môshe's machine is
much larger than that.

There's actually no reason to restrict ourselves to using the early_*
version of memremap() - the ACPI BGRT driver is invoked late enough in
boot that we can use the standard version, with the benefit that the
late version allows mappings of arbitrary size.
