Hi folks,

This is version two of the patches I previously posted here:

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210506095034.15246-1-will@kernel.org

Changes since v1 include:

 * Only consider EFI_MEMORY_WT as a last resort
 * Emit warning when using Normal-NC for EFI_MEMORY_WT
 * Added acks
 * Rebased onto -rc3

Catalin pointed out that the Device-GRE memory type is unused, despite
having a MAIR allocation. In removing that, I noticed that we also
allocate Normal-WT despite it only being used for EFI_MEMORY_WT mappings,
which is unheard of in isolation.

With these changes, we free up a couple of MAIR entries for more
interesting things (e.g. outer cacheability attributes if we need them
in future for the SLC).

Cheers,

Will
