Please include,

#define pr_fmt(fmt)	"efi: " fmt

here. I've seen in the past that reporters will sometimes miss error
messages when searching for EFI failures if they are not prefixed with
"efi: ".

We should really be checking tbl::version here so that if the version
gets bumped in the future, perhaps due to a change in the structure
layout, we don't try and reserve a crazy amount of memory.

Might I suggest "entry_is_valid" or "valid_entry" for this function? A
boolean return value implies we're asking a question.

Hehe, I'm not a slave to the 80-column rule but 106-columns is pretty
extreme. Could we reword this to shorten the string length?

Newline here please.

Could you provide a comment for this check? I realise it's checking
conformance to the region alignment rules for arm64, but a comment to
that effect would be useful.

Newline here please.

Please use braces when there are multiple lines under the if().

Let's save ourselves one level of indentation here and invert this
check, continuing if the inverted check is false.

Newline please.

Newline please.

It might be worth a comment above this function explaining that it
should only be invoked after the machine has entered virtual mode and
SetVirtualAddressMap() has been called.

Please include a comment explaining what an 'efi_memattr_perm_setter'
is and the rules (if any) constraining the implementation.
