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.
