x86/efi: Adding efi_printks on memory allocationa and pci.reads
All other calls to allocate memory seem to make some noise already, with the exception of two calls (for gop, uga) in the setup_graphics path. The purpose is to be noisy on worrysome errors immediately. commit fb86b244 ("x86/efi: Add better error logging to EFI boot stub") introduces printing false alarms for lots of hardware. Rather than playing Whack a Mole with non-fatal exit conditions, try the other way round. This is per Matt Fleming's suggestion: > Where I think we could improve things > is by adding efi_printk() message in certain error paths. Clearly, not > all error paths need such messages, e.g. the EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER path > you highlighted above, but it makes sense for memory allocation and PCI > read failures.
