Subject: [PATCH 10/40] ARM: efi: Apply strict permissons for UEFI Runtime Services regions

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@...aro.org>

Recent UEFI versions expose permission attributes for runtime services
memory regions, either in the UEFI memory map or in the separate memory
attributes table.  This allows the kernel to map these regions with
stricter permissions, rather than the RWX permissions that are used by
default. So wire this up in our mapping routine.
