Commit e7b24ec978 ("ArmPkg/UncachedMemoryAllocationLib: map uncached
allocations non-executable") adds code that manipulates the GCD memory
space attributes of a newly allocated uncached region without checking
whether this region expose these attributes in its capabilities mask.
Given that the intent is to remove executable permissions from the region,
this is a fairly pointless exercise to begin with, regardless of whether
it is correct or not. The reason is that RO/XP memory attributes in the
GCD memory space map or the UEFI memory map are completely disconnected
from the actual mapping permissions used in the page tables.
So instead, invoke the CPU arch protocol directly, and add the non-exec
attributes in the page tables directly.

The primary use case for UncachedMemoryAllocationLib is non-coherent DMA,
which implies that such regions are not used to fetch instructions from.
So let's map them as non-executable, to avoid creating a security hole
when the rest of the platform may be enforcing strict memory permissions
on ordinary allocations.

Uncached pool allocations are aligned to the data cache line length under
the assumption that this is sufficient to prevent cache maintenance from
corrupting adjacent allocations. However, the value to use in such cases
is architecturally called the Cache Writeback Granule (CWG), which is
essentially the maximum Dcache line length rather than the minimum.
Note that this is mostly a cosmetical fix, given that the pool allocation
is turned into a page allocation later, and rounded up accordingly.

In order to play nice with platforms that use strict memory permission
policies, restore the original mapping attributes when freeing uncached
allocations.

It is implied that the memory returned from UncachedMemoryAllocationLib
should have cache invalidated. So we invalidate memory range after
changing memory attribute to uncached.

Keeping track of uncached memory allocations prevents doing expensive
cache operations (eg: clean & invalidate) on newly allocated regions
by reusing regions where possible

Route both the setting and restoring of cacheability through DXE Services/GCD
and stop using the CPU AP directly.
The patch also removes all references to the CPU AP which eliminates the need
for a library constructor.

ArmPkg - Supoprt for ARM specific things that can change as the architecture changes. Plus semihosting JTAG drivers.
EmbeddedPkg - Generic support for an embeddded platform. Including a light weight command line shell.
BeagleBoardPkg - Platform specifics for BeagleBoard. SD Card works, but USB has issues. Looks like a bug in the open source USB stack (Our internal stack works fine).
