[RFC PATCH v2] arm64/acpi: disallow AML memory opregions to access kernel memory

[Ard Biesheuvel]

AML uses SystemMemory opregions to allow AML handlers to access MMIO
registers of, e.g., GPIO controllers, or access reserved regions of
memory that are owned by the firmware.

Currently, we also allow AML access to memory that is owned by the
kernel and mapped via the linear region, which does not seem to be
supported by a valid use case, and exposes the kernel's internal
state to AML methods that may be buggy and exploitable.

On arm64, ACPI support requires booting in EFI mode, and so we can cross
reference the requested region against the EFI memory map, rather than
just do a minimal check on the first page. So let's only permit regions
to be remapped by the ACPI core if
- they don't appear in the EFI memory map at all (which is the case for
  most MMIO), or
- they are covered by a single region in the EFI memory map, which is not
  of a type that describes memory that is given to the kernel at boot.

v2: do a more elaborate check on the region, against the EFI memory map
