The variadic efi_call_phys() wrapper that exists on i386 was originally created to call into any EFI firmware runtime service, but in practice, we only use it once, to call SetVirtualAddressMap() during early boot. The flexibility provided by the variadic nature also makes it type unsafe, and makes the assembler code more complicated than needed, since it has to deal with an unknown number of arguments living on the stack. So clean this up, by renaming the helper to efi_call_svam(), and dropping the unneeded complexity. Let's also drop the reference to the efi_phys struct and grab the address from the EFI system table directly.

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.
