[PATCH 1/2] arm64/efi: base UEFI mapping permissions on region attributes

Currently, we infer the UEFI memory region mapping permissions
from the memory region type (i.e., runtime services code are
mapped RWX and runtime services data mapped RW-). This appears to
work fine but is not entirely UEFI spec compliant. So instead, use
the designated permission attributes to decide how these regions
should be mapped.

Since UEFIv2.5 introduces a new EFI_MEMORY_RO permission attribute,
and redefines EFI_MEMORY_WP as a cacheability attribute, use only
the former as a read-only attribute. For setting the PXN bit, the
corresponding EFI_MEMORY_XP attribute is used.
