What I don't understand is that currently the above remap_region()
function only uses ioremap_cache() and ignores any code attributes. So
we end up with PROT_NORMAL which is non-executable.

Is the current remap_region() function broken or we don't expect it to
be called with any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE region?

In addition to what I said above, do we expect ioremap_exec() to be
called on non-pfn_valid() pages?
