Mapping the MEMRESERVE EFI configuration table from an early initcall
is too late: the GICv3 ITS code that creates persistent reservations
for the boot CPU's LPI tables is invoked from init_IRQ(), which runs
much earlier than the handling of the initcalls. This results in a
WARN() splat because the LPI tables cannot be reserved persistently,
which will result in silent memory corruption after a kexec reboot.
So instead, invoke the initialization performed by the initcall from
efi_mem_reserve_persistent() itself as well, but keep the initcall so
that the init is guaranteed to have been called before SMP boot.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
