efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option
This patch introduces new boot option named "efi_fake_mem".
By specifying this parameter, you can add arbitrary attribute
to specific memory range.
This is useful for debugging of Address Range Mirroring feature.
For example, if "efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000"
is specified, the original (firmware provided) EFI memmap will be
updated so that the specified memory regions have
EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (0x10000):
<original>
efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x00000020a0000000) (129536MB)
<updated>
efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x0000000180000000) (2048MB)
efi: mem37: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000180000000-0x00000010a0000000) (61952MB)
efi: mem38: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000010a0000000-0x0000001120000000) (2048MB)
efi: mem39: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000001120000000-0x00000020a0000000) (63488MB)
And you will find that the following message is output:
efi: Memory: 4096M/131455M mirrored memory
