Recent UEFI versions expose permission attributes for runtime services
memory regions, either in the UEFI memory map or in the separate memory
attributes table. This allows the kernel to map these regions with
stricter permissions, rather than the RWX permissions that are used by
default. So wire this up in our mapping routine.

Note that in the absence of permission attributes, we still only map
regions of type EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICE_CODE with the executable bit set.
Also, we base the mapping attributes of EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO on the
type directly rather than on the absence of the EFI_MEMORY_WB attribute.
This is more correct, but is also required for compatibility with the
upcoming support for the Memory Attributes Table, which only carries
permission attributes, not memory type attributes.

The logic is sound, I think. If you need execute permissions on a
non-code region with the XP bit set, there is something wrong in the
firmware, unless you are hitting this case for an MMIO region perhaps?
Could you share the kernel log with efi=debug enabled?

No. DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER modules are implemented as PE/COFF binaries,
which are covered completely by EfiRuntimeServicesCode regions.
However, a PE/COFF image consists of .text and .data sections, which
require different permissions, so PE/COFF binaries are represented by
several memory map entries in the memory attributes table, all of
which have a code type, but differ in the permission bits.

This memory map looks utterly broken. Assuming you are using
Tianocore, does it work when setting
gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPropertiesTableEnable to FALSE in
your platform?
