When capsule updates are staged for processing after a warm reboot,
they are copied into memory with the MMU and caches enabled. When
the capsule PEI gets around to coalescing the capsule, the MMU and
caches may still be disabled, and so on architectures where uncached
accesses are incoherent with the caches (such as ARM and AARCH64),
we need to ensure that the data passed into UpdateCapsule() is
written back to main memory before performing the warm reboot.
Unfortunately, on ARM, the only type of cache maintenance instructions
that are suitable for this purpose operate on virtual addresses only,
and given that the UpdateCapsule() prototype includes the physical
address of a linked list of scatter/gather data structures that are
mapped at an address that is unknown to the firmware (and may not even
be mapped at all when UpdateCapsule() is invoked), we can only perform
this cache maintenance at boot time. Fortunately, both Windows and Linux
only invoke UpdateCapsule() before calling ExitBootServices(), so this
is not a problem in practice.
In the future, we may propose adding a secure firmware service that
permits performing the cache maintenance at OS runtime, in which case
this code may be enhanced to call that service if available. For now,
we just fail any UpdateCapsule() calls performed at OS runtime on ARM.

Reduce reserved memory consumption by page table buffer,
then OS can have more available memory to use.
Take PhysicalAddressBits = 48 and 2MB page granularity as example,
1:1 Virtual to Physical identity mapping page table buffer needs to be
((512 + 1) * 512 + 1) * 4096 = 1075843072 bytes = 0x40201000 bytes.
The code is updated to only allocate 2 pages (1G page enabled) or
6 pages for 4G page table, and 8 extra pages to handles > 4G request
by page fault.

2. CapsuleLongModeBuffer variable should be set to Read-Only. It should not be changed by someone else.
3. Introduce a new PCD PcdIdentifyMappingPageTablePtr to share the same range of page table between AcpiS3 and Capsule.
4. Capsule stack size is allocated from PcdCapsulePeiLongModeStackSize.
