[Xen-devel] [PATCH v1 3/3] efi: Implement 'efi=attr' Xen command line to map Runtime services with no attributes.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For example on Dell machines we see:

(XEN)  00000fed18000-00000fed19fff type=11 attr=8000000000000000
(XEN) Unknown cachability for MFNs 0xfed18-0xfed19

Lets allow them to be mapped as WB.

We also alter the 'efi-rs' to be 'efi=rs' or 'efi=no-rs'.
