How about:
		if (!remap_region(md, &virt_md))
			goto err_unmap;
		++count;

This is wrong. memmap still belongs to UEFI and hasn't been touched. The
new mappings are in virtmap. So, it is even simpler:

	/* unmap all mappings that succeeded: there are 'count' of those */
	for (virt_md = virtmap; count; virt_md++, count--)
		iounmap((__force void __iomem *)virt_md->virt_addr);
