efi: Add a function to look up existing IO memory mappings
The EFI initialization creates virtual mappings for EFI boot services memory, so if a driver wants to access EFI boot services memory, it cannot call ioremap itself; doing so will trip the WARN about mapping RAM twice. Thus, a driver accessing EFI boot services memory must do so via the existing mapping already created during EFI intiialization. Since the EFI code already maintains a memory map for that memory, add a function efi_lookup_mapped_addr to look up mappings in that memory map.
