There are several implementations of this function in the tree.
Add a central version in grub-core/efi/mm.c.

Taken from grub-core/loader/i386/linux.c, changing some hard-coded constants
to use macros from efi/memory.h.

I am OK with the idea but...

What will happen if memory will be fragmented further after this call
and number of memory map entries increases above mmap_size?

I prefer if you do something like that:

map_size = 0;

if (grub_efi_get_memory_map (&map_size, NULL, NULL, &desc_size, 0) < 0)
{
  grub_error (GRUB_ERR_IO, "cannot get EFI memory map size");
  return 0;
}

return ALIGN_UP (map_size + GRUB_EFI_PAGE_SIZE, GRUB_EFI_PAGE_SIZE);

Oh, that is completely broken, but there is no functional change
introduced by this patch.

I was just hoping there was some point at which I could stop fixing
the world in order to get to the point where upstream grub is able to
boot on arm64 systems with large amounts of memory, or holes in the
memory map.

A journey I commenced on February 28th this year:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2017-02/msg00156.html

I note that this patch was in itself triggered by your feedback on
"efi: add grub_efi_get_dram_base() function for arm*" on 27 July.
