[PATCH v2 3/8] ARM: mmu: use reserve mem entries to modify maps

Use the information from the reserved memory entries to modify the
mapping of memory regions to mark them as uncachable and not-executable.
This also prevents the processor from speculating into these regions,
preventing hard to debug scenarios where boots fail for unknown reasons.
