Ard Biesheuvel a470552ee8 efi: Don't attempt to map RCI2 config table if it doesn't exist 
Commit:

  1c5fecb612 ("efi: Export Runtime Configuration Interface table to sysfs")

... added support for a Dell specific UEFI configuration table, but
failed to take into account that mapping the table should not be
attempted unless the table actually exists. If it doesn't exist,
the code usually fails silently unless pr_debug() prints are
enabled. However, on 32-bit PAE x86, the splat below is produced due
to the attempt to map the placeholder value EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR
which we use for non-existing UEFI configuration tables, and which
equals ULONG_MAX.

   memremap attempted on mixed range 0x00000000ffffffff size: 0x1e

Fix this by checking whether the table exists before attempting to map it.

README 

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.
