This doesn't really make any sense on non-x86. The boot services
regions are released to the kernel for general allocation, and so
exposing them this way only makes sense if you keep them as you do for
x86.
Could you please try to make this call specific to situations where it
makes sense? I don't mind allocating a new EFI_xxx flag for preserving
the boot services regions so we could decide to set it for ARM/arm64
as well in certain cases in the future.
