The existing map iteration helper for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map can only be used after the kernel initializes the EFI subsystem to set up struct efi_memory_map. Before that we also need iterate map descriptors which are stored in several intermediate structures, like struct efi_boot_memmap for arch independent usage and struct efi_info for x86 arch only. Introduce efi_early_memdesc_ptr() to get pointer to a map descriptor, and replace several places where that primitive is open coded.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
