When booted through startup_64(), the kernel keeps running on the EFI page table until the KASLR code sets up its own page table. Without KASLR, the pre-decompression boot code never switches off the EFI page table. Change that by unconditionally switching to a kernel-controlled page table after relocation. This makes sure the kernel can make changes to the mapping when necessary, for example map pages unencrypted in SEV and SEV-ES guests. Also, remove the debug_putstr() calls in initialize_identity_maps() because the function now runs before console_init() is called.

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.
