One of the functionalities of CpuDxe is to update memory paging attributes.
If page table protection is applied, it must be disabled temporarily before
any attributes update and enabled again afterwards.
This patch makes use of the same way as DxeIpl to allocate page table memory
from reserved memory pool, which helps to reduce potential "split" operation
and recursive calling of SetMemorySpaceAttributes().
Laszlo (lersek@redhat.com) did a regression test on QEMU virtual platform with
one middle version of this series patch. The details can be found at

There're a few changes after his work.

More than one entry of RT_CODE memory might cause boot problem for some
old OSs. This patch will fix this issue to keep OS compatibility as much
as possible.

Heap guard feature will frequently update page attributes. The debug message
in CpuDxe driver will slow down the boot performance noticeably. Changing the
debug level to DEBUG_VERBOSE to reduce the message output for normal debug
configuration.

From CpuDxe driver perspective, it doesn't update GCD memory attributes from
current page table setup during its initialization. So the memory attributes in
GCD might not reflect all memory attributes in real world.

The architectural MSR MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE is not supported by AMD processors.
Because reading CPUID.80000001H:EDK[20] is enough to check if XD feature is
supported or not, we just remove checking MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE(0x1A0).

This PCD holds the address mask for page table entries when memory
encryption is enabled on AMD processors supporting the Secure Encrypted
Virtualization (SEV) feature.
The mask is applied when page tables entries are created or modified.
