efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option

Browse source 
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

you are really sure that your UEFI does sane gc and
fulfills the spec otherwise your board may brick.
efi_fake_mem= nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]:aa[,nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]:aa,..] [EFI; X86]
Add arbitrary attribute to specific memory range by
updating original EFI memory map.
Region of memory which aa attribute is added to is
from ss to ss+nn.
If efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000
is specified, EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE(0x10000)
attribute is added to range 0x100000000-0x180000000 and
0x10a0000000-0x1120000000.
Using this parameter you can do debugging of EFI memmap
related feature. For example, you can do debugging of
Address Range Mirroring feature even if your box
doesn't support it.
