Well, think about it: do you want to do the memremap/unmap a second time
*just* to print the memmap in the efi kernel or do you want to do the
memremap/unmap only once and do the work once?

If you say you don't care about speed and wasting cycles then I'm
certainly fine with that as I've spent more time hinting at the
performance aspect than I'd like to.

-ENOPARSE means I cannot parse what you said above.
