efi/x86: Ignore the memory attributes table on i386
Commit: 3a6b6c6 ("efi: Make EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE initialization common across all architectures") moved the call to efi_memattr_init() from ARM specific to the generic EFI init code, in order to be able to apply the restricted permissions described in that table on x86 as well. We never enabled this feature fully on i386, and so mapping and reserving this table is pointless. However, due to the early call to memblock_reserve(), the memory bookkeeping gets confused to the point where it produces the splat below when we try to map the memory later on: ------------[ cut here ]------------ ioremap on RAM at 0x3f251000 - 0x3fa1afff WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:166 __ioremap_caller ...
