Now that all PeiServicesTablePointerLib and PrePiHobListPointerLib
library dependencies in both ArmVirtQemu and ArmVirtXen are satisfied
by implementations that do not depend on ArmPlatformGlobalVariableLib,
we can remove all mention of it from the various .dsc files.

The ID mapping routines on virtual platforms simply map the entire
hardware supported physical address space as device memory, and then
punch some holes for regions that need to be mapped cacheable.
On virtual platforms hosted on CPUs that support a large physical
address range, this may result in a lot of overhead, i.e., 4 KB of page
tables for each 512 GB of address space, which quickly adds up (i.e.,
2 MB for the architectural maximum of 48 bits).
Since there may be a platform specific limit to the size of the (I)PA
space that is not reflected by CPU id registers, restrict the range of
the ID mapping to gEmbeddedTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPrePiCpuMemorySize bits.
This makes sense by itself, since we cannot manipulate mappings above
that limit anwyay (because they are not covered by GCD), and it allows
the PCD be set to a lower value by platforms whose (I)PA space is
smaller than the hardware supported maximum.

The ARM architecture version 7 and later mandates that device mappings
have the XN (non-executable) bit set, to prevent speculative instruction
fetches from read-sensitive regions. This implies that we should not map
regions as device if we want to execute from them, so the NOR region that
contains our FD image should be mapped as normal memory instead.
The MMU code deals correctly with overlapping ARM_MEMORY_REGION_DESCRIPTOR
entries, and later entries in the array take precedence over earlier ones.
So simply add an entry to the end of the array that overrides the mapping
attributes of the FD image, wherever it resides.
