    Set mm before passing it to the UEFI firmware
    
    When reading the UEFI memory map we pass in a pointer to the memory to
    hold the map. Unfortunately it wasn't initialised before the first use
    so clang decided it was undefined behaviour so the entire loop was
    removed. This leads to everything in bi_load after this to also be
    removed as dead code.
    
    The next function after bi_load in the binary is efi_copy_init. The
    above caused us to enter efi_copy_init with a return address of the
    start of the function. Because of this it would enter an infinite
    loop of calling the function, allocating memory, then returning to
    the start of the function.
