--- Comment #11 from Jung-uk Kim <jkim@FreeBSD.org> ---
I have a similar problem.  My guess is the frame buffer does not set memory
attribute properly.  Note we do not have this problem as soon as kernel is
loaded because we unconditionally set it as write-combining:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/sys/dev/vt/hw/efifb/efifb.c?id=7ef5e8bc80065821d8f277a41f8184e7990d27bc

Later, we added "hw.efifb.cache_attr" tunable to allow uncacheable type.

We may be able to set it from loader via SetVirtualAddressMap(), I guess?
