Oops, you're missing updates to the 32-bit version and ARM/arm64,
which results in this,

drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c: In function ‘virt_efi_get_time’:
arch/x86/include/asm/efi.h:46:4: error: ‘efi_efi’ undeclared (first use in this function)
  ((efi_##f##_t __attribute__((regparm(0)))*)   \
    ^

but that's easily fixed up.

I'm not crazy about using "generic" in the name. How about
efi_call_virt_function() or efi_call_virt_pointer()?
