Subject: [PATCH 1/2] efi/x86: don't set unsupported memory attributes

On platforms where the firmware uses DXE, but which do not implement the
EFI Memory Attribute Protocol, we implement W^X support using DXE's
set_memory_attributes() call.  This call will fail without making any
changes if an attribute is set that isn't supported on the platform.

This patch changes efi_adjust_memory_range_protection() to avoid trying
to set any attribute bits that aren't set in the memory region's
capability flags.
