Good find! I missed this because my test case was checking /proc/iomem
after booting and efi_fake_memmap_early() updates the e820 table.

Perhaps a prettier way to do this is to push the handling of each
efi_fake_mem entry into a subroutine. However, I notice when a memmap
allocated by efi_memmap_alloc() is replaced by another dynamically
allocated memmap the previous one isn't released. I have a series that
fixes that up as well.
