    EFI: support default attributes to map Runtime service areas with none given
    
    From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>
    
    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'.
