Description

"8681 loader: bios loader should check the smap while loading the modules" did address the memory map issue for BIOS systems. Now we need to address the same issue for UEFI.

With UEFI the situation is more complicated - we can not assign final addresses before boot services are switched off, because memory map will get updated on EFI memory allocation (that also can happen when we switch off the BS).

Note, the same problem is still present in kernel (dboot and early kernel, before the kernel memory allocator is set up).
