Between kexec and confidential VM support, handling the EFI memory maps correctly on x86 is already proving to be rather difficult (as opposed to other EFI architectures which manage to never modify the EFI memory map to begin with) EFI fake memory map support is essentially a development hack (for testing new support for the 'special purpose' and 'more reliable' EFI memory attributes) that leaked into production code. The regions marked in this manner are not actually recognized as such by the firmware itself or the EFI stub (and never have), and marking memory as 'more reliable' seems rather futile if the underlying memory is just ordinary RAM. Marking memory as 'special purpose' in this way is also dubious, but may be in use in production code nonetheless. However, the same should be achievable by using the memmap= command line option with the ! operator. EFI fake memmap support is not enabled by any of the major distros (Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu) and does not exist on other architectures, so let's drop support for it.
