From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

old_memmap's efi_call_phys_prolog() calls set_pgd() with swapper PGD that 
has PAGE_USER set, which makes PTI set NX on it, and therefore EFI can't 
execute it's code.

Fix that by forcefully clearing _PAGE_NX from the PGD (this can't be done 
by the pgprot API).

_PAGE_NX will be automatically reintroduced in efi_call_phys_epilog(), as 
_set_pgd() will again notice that this is _PAGE_USER, and set _PAGE_NX on 
it.
