Subject: [PATCH 2/2] acpi, apei: use appropriate pgprot_t to map GHES memory

From: "Jonathan (Zhixiong) Zhang" <zjzhang@...eaurora.org>

With ACPI APEI firmware first handling, generic hardware error
record is updated by firmware in GHES memory region. On an arm64
platform, firmware updates GHES memory region with uncached
access attribute, and then Linux reads stale data from cache.

With current code, GHES memory region is mapped with PAGE_KERNEL
based on the assumption that cache coherency of GHES memory region
is maintained by firmware on all platforms. This assumption is
not true for above mentioned arm64 platform.

Instead GHES memory region should be mapped with page protection type
according to what is returned from arch_apei_get_mem_attribute().
