UEFI v2.6 introduces EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE which describes memory
protections that may be applied to the EFI Runtime code and data regions by
the kernel. This enables the kernel to map these regions more strictly thereby
increasing security.
Presently, the only valid bits for the attribute field of a memory descriptor
are EFI_MEMORY_RO and EFI_MEMORY_XP, hence use these bits to update the
mappings in efi_pgd.
The UEFI specification recommends to use this feature instead of
EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE and hence while updating EFI mappings we first
check for EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE and if it's present we update
the mappings according to this table and hence disregarding
EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE even if it's published by the firmware. We consider
EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE only when EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE is absent.

UEFI v2.6 introduces a configuration table called
EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE which provides additional information about
EFI runtime regions. Currently this table describes memory protections
that may be applied to the EFI Runtime code and data regions by the kernel.
Allocate a EFI_XXX bit to keep track of whether this feature is
published by firmware or not.

This implements shared support for discovering the presence of the
Memory Attributes table, and for parsing and validating its contents.
The table is validated against the construction rules in the UEFI spec.
Since this is a new table, it makes sense to complain if we encounter
a table that does not follow those rules.
The parsing and validation routine takes a callback that can be specified
per architecture, that gets passed each unique validated region, with the
virtual address retrieved from the ordinary memory map.
