[ Upstream commit b418d660bb ]
When commit:
69c1f396f2 ("efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementation")
moved the x86 specific EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location,
it also tweaked the behaviour. In particular, it dropped a trick with full
framebuffer remapping after page initialization, leading to two regressions:
1) very slow scrolling after page initialization,
2) kernel hang when the 'keep_bootcon' command line argument is passed.
Putting the tweak back fixes#2 and mitigates #1, i.e., it limits the slow
behavior to the early boot stages, presumably due to eliminating heavy
map()/unmap() operations per each pixel line on the screen.
[ ardb: ensure efifb is unmapped again unless keep_bootcon is in effect. ]
[ mingo: speling fixes. ]
