Thanks for reporting the issue. I think you correctly identified the two
places where the update of the virtual address is missing.

The efi_mem_carve_out() function is called efi_add_memory_map() which is
only called at boottime. By definition the physical and virtual
addresses must be the same at boottime. So a single line

map->desc.virtual_start = carve_end;

should be enough here.

newmap->desc.virtual_start = carve_start;

should be ok here.
