__ASM_EFI_H please for consistency with the other files.

Is this variable used outside this file or from common code? It has a
too generic name, may clash with other things.

You could drop the "arm_" prefix here, that's just local to this file.

The common start_kernel() function already has this call:

#ifdef CONFIG_X86
	if (efi_enabled(EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES))
		efi_enter_virtual_mode();
#endif

Could we not use it for arm64 as well? Ideally with an empty
efi_enter_virtual_mode() in include/linux/efi.h if !CONFIG_EFI but I
noticed that ia64 does a separate call and they don't seem to have
efi_enabled(), so probably not feasible for them.
