[RFC][PATCH] arm64: efi: Obey EFI memory type in dmi_remap

Currently, dmi_remap unconditionally calls ioremap_cache for dmi_remap.
The memory that's being remapped may be part of the existing EFI
memory map and already remapped as uncached. Remapping as cached can
created unexpected behavior so check the physical address against the
EFI memory type before remapping.

Actual bug, not just theoretical problem. I'm marking this as RFC
because I'm not sure what any kind of specificaiton may have to say.
