EFI: support default attributes to map Runtime service areas with none given
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
For example on Dell machines we see:
(XEN) 00000fed18000-00000fed19fff type=11 attr=8000000000000000
(XEN) Unknown cachability for MFNs 0xfed18-0xfed19
Let's allow them to be mapped as UC.
We also alter the 'efi-rs' to be 'efi=rs' or 'efi=no-rs'.
