Baoquan He 02e43c2dcd efi: Introduce efi_early_memdesc_ptr to get pointer to memmap descriptor
The existing map iteration helper for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map can
only be used after the kernel initializes the EFI subsystem to set up
struct efi_memory_map.

Before that we also need iterate map descriptors which are stored in several
intermediate structures, like struct efi_boot_memmap for arch independent
usage and struct efi_info for x86 arch only.

Introduce efi_early_memdesc_ptr() to get pointer to a map descriptor, and
replace several places where that primitive is open coded.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
