The DXE core implementation of PcdDxeNxMemoryProtectionPolicy already
contains an assertion that EfiConventionalMemory and EfiBootServicesData
are subjected to the same policy when it comes to the use of NX
permissions. The reason for this is that we may otherwise end up with
unbounded recursion in the page table code, given that allocating a page
table would then involve a permission attribute change, and this could
result in the need for a block entry to be split, which would trigger
the allocation of a page table recursively.
For the same reason, a shortcut exists in ApplyMemoryProtectionPolicy()
where, instead of setting the memory attributes unconditionally, we
compare the NX policies and avoid touching the page tables if they are
the same for the old and the new memory types. Without this shortcut, we
may end up in a situation where, as the CPU arch protocol DXE driver is
ramping up, the same unbounded recursion is triggered, due to the fact
that the NX policy for EfiConventionalMemory has not been applied yet.
To break this cycle, let's remap all EfiConventionalMemory regions
according to the NX policy for EfiBootServicesData before exposing the
CPU arch protocol to the DXE core and other drivers. This ensures that
creating EfiBootServicesData allocations does not result in memory
attribute changes, and therefore no recursion.

Commit 61a7b0ec63 ("ArmPkg/Gic: force GIC driver to run before CPU arch
protocol driver", 2018-02-06) explains why CpuDxe should be dispatched
after ArmGicDxe.
To implement the ordering, we should use a regular protocol depex rather
than the less flexible AFTER opcode. ArmGicDxe installs
gHardwareInterruptProtocolGuid and gHardwareInterrupt2ProtocolGuid as one
of the last actions on its entry point stack; either of those is OK for
CpuDxe to wait for.

Currently, the GIC driver has a static dependency on the CPU arch protocol
driver, so it can register its IRQ handler at init time. This means there
is a window between dispatch of the CPU driver and dispatch of the GIC
driver where any unexpected GIC state may trigger an interrupt which we
are not set up to handle yet. Note that this is even the case if we enter
UEFI with interrupts disabled at the CPU, given that any TPL manipulation
involving TPL_HIGH_LEVEL will unconditionally enable IRQs at the CPU side
regardless of whether they were enabled to begin with (but only as soon as
the CPU arch protocol is actually installed)
So let's reorder the GIC driver with the CPU driver, and let it run its
initialization that puts the GIC into a known state before enabling
interrupts. Move its installation of its IRQ handler to a protocol notify
callback on the CPU arch protocol so that it runs as soon as it becomes
available.

Previously the CPU driver had a dependency on the GIC driver.
But by design is should be the opposite. The CPU driver installs the
CPU protocol that exposes the exception registration function.
And then, the interrupt controller registers its IRQ handler through
this interface.
