Also, please don't break the line in the middle of the prototype.

This is sloppy too: we already have '&boot_params->efi_info' in 'e', why do you 
duplicate it again, why not write 'e->efi_loader_signature'??

This kernel warning is pretty passive-aggressive: please explain what the problem 
is and how it can be resolved.

This looks unnecessarily obfuscated: why not initialize 'md' to 'pmap' when pmap 
is calculated and just use md[i]?

ugly linebreak again ...

Thanks,
