[PATCH v2 0/5] UEFI: memory attribute table support

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This implements ARM/arm64 support for dealing with the UEFI memory attribute
table, which allows the OS to map UEFI Runtime Services regions with stricter
permissions.

I have tried to implement the early discovery and validation of the table
as generically as possible. I think it should be reusable on x86 as well,
but I haven't tried myself. Note that this also depends on the way we
deal with the reservation of BootServicesData regions going forward.

Note that for 32-bit ARM, this depends on [1], which addresses an issue
with memremap() on that architecture

Patches #1 and #2 implement support for the EFI_MEMORY_RO and EFI_MEMORY_XP
attributes, and as it turns out, this code supports both the (obsolete)
PropertiesTable and the new Memory Attributes table, so I moved them to the
beginning of the series.

Patch #3 adds the GUID and type definitions for the memory attributes table.

Patch #4 implements the generic handling of the table.

Patch #5 wires it up for ARM and arm64.

Changes since v1:
- incorporate feedback from Matt (patches #2 and #4)
- rebased onto v4.6-rc1
