Some memory attributes are implied by the memory type, e.g., device memory
is always mapped non-executable and cached memory should have the inner
shareable attribute.
In order to prevent unnecessary memory attribute updates of mappings
created early on, make EfiAttributeToArmAttribute() return these implied
attributes in the same way as ArmMmuLib does already. This avoids false
positives when looking for differences between current and desired mapping
attributes.

The single user of EfiAttributeToArmAttribute () is the protocol
method EFI_CPU_ARCH_PROTOCOL.SetMemoryAttributes(), which uses the
return value to compare against the ARM attributes of an existing mapping,
to infer whether it is actually necessary to change anything, or whether
the requested update is redundant. This saves some cache and TLB
maintenance on 32-bit ARM systems that use uncached translation tables.
However, EFI_CPU_ARCH_PROTOCOL.SetMemoryAttributes() may be invoked with
only permission bits set, in which case the implied requested action is to
update the permissions of the region without modifying the cacheability
attributes. This is currently not possible, because
EfiAttributeToArmAttribute () ASSERT()s [on AArch64] on Attributes arguments
that lack a cacheability bit.
So let's simply return TT_ATTR_INDX_MASK (AArch64) or
TT_DESCRIPTOR_SECTION_TYPE_FAULT (ARM) in these cases (or'ed with the
appropriate permission bits). This way, the return value is equally
suitable for checking whether the attributes need to be modified, but
in a way that accommodates the use without a cacheability bit set.

Current Arm CpuDxe driver uses EFI_MEMORY_WP for write protection,
according to UEFI spec, we should use EFI_MEMORY_RO for write protection.
The EFI_MEMORY_WP is the cache attribute instead of memory attribute.

When the function that determines the size of a contiguous region
was returning from a sub-level table scanning it was forgetting to
move to the next entry of its own level table.

If the first entry of the memory map is in the third level (case when the region
at 0x0 is smaller than 4KB) then its descriptor type would be TT_TYPE_BLOCK_ENTRY_LEVEL3
(=0x3) which has the same value as TT_TYPE_TABLE_ENTRY (=0x3).
The first condition in GetFirstPageAttribute() needed the table level
to not mix these two descriptor types.

Changing the attribute implies some cache management (clean & invalidate).
Preventing the cache management should improve the performance.
