Future EFI firmware will require the PE/COFF NX_COMPAT header flag to be
set in order to retain access to all system facilities while features
such as UEFI secure boot or TCG measured boot are enabled.

The consequence of setting this flag is that the EFI firmware image
loader may configure the page allocator to set the NX attribute on all
allocations requested by the image. This means we should clear this
attribute on all regions we allocate and expect to be able to execute
from.

In the x86 EFI zboot case, the only code we execute under EFI's 1:1
mapping that was not loaded by the image loader itself is the trampoline
that effectuates the switch between 4 and 5 level paging, and the part
of the loaded kernel image that runs before switching to its own page
tables.  So let's use the EFI memory attributes protocol to clear the NX
attribute on these regions.

Whether or not setting the read-only attribute first is required is
unclear at this point. Given that the kernel startup code uses two
different executable sections before switching to its own page tables
(normal text and inittext, with a writable data section in between),
this would require some minor reorganization of the kernel memory map.
