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 goind 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.
