Yes, you are quite right. I was a bit lazy and made some incremental
changes allowing me to use this code in the way i need to for creating
non-executable mappings for EFI data and config tables etc. But I
agree it would be much better to clean it up the way you suggest.

No, it's just highly unlikely that we would encounter one of that size
with map_io or map_xn set.
