Table 8 of UEFI 2.5 section 2.3.6.1 defines mappings from EFI
memory types to MAIR attribute encodings for arm64.

If the physical address has memory attributes defined by EFI
memmap as EFI_MEMORY_[UC|WC|WT], return approprate page protection
type according to the UEFI spec. Otherwise, return PAGE_KERNEL.
