efi: Introduce the EFI_MEM_ATTR bit and set it from the memory attributes table

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.
