[PATCH 06/13] efi/x86: avoid RWX mappings for all of DRAM

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

The EFI code creates RWX mappings for all memory regions that are
occupied after the stub completes, and in the mixed mode case, it
even creates RWX mappings for all of the remaining DRAM as well.

Let's try to avoid this, by setting the NX bit for all memory
regions except the ones that are marked as EFI runtime services
code [which means text+rodata+data in practice, so we cannot mark
them read-only right away]. For cases of buggy firmware where boot
services code is called during SetVirtualAddressMap(), map those
regions with exec permissions as well - they will be unmapped in
efi_free_boot_services().
