Although kernel bootup works with this patch, it still does not fix the
issue I noticed, you can see:

With this patch applied, there is still only one md set "SP" attr. That
means only the last insert worked.

void __init efi_memmap_insert(struct efi_memory_map *old_memmap, void *buf,
struct efi_mem_range *mem)

The above function will use the old_memmap as the base for each
inserting. the old_memmap == &efi.memmap, so when you do below:
for (i = 0; i < nr_fake_mem; i++)
efi_memmap_insert(&efi.memmap, new_memmap, &efi_fake_mems[i]);

Only the last inserting will take effect. Below debug patch worked for
me, but I thought you have found same bug so I did not add it in the
reply, here it is, only for debugging purpose, not graceful:
