In general, on an ARM system, mapping normal memory as device memory may
have unintended side effects, given that unaligned accesses or loads and
stores with special semantics (e.g., load/store exclusive) may fault or
may not work as expected.
Under KVM, the situation is even worse, since the host may not expect the
guest to perform uncached accesses, and so writes to such an uncached
region may get lost completely.
Since the only safe mapping type under KVM is EFI_MEMORY_WB, remove all
other memory type attributes.

Switch all users of ArmLib that depend on the MMU routines to the new,
separate ArmMmuLib. This needs to occur in one go, since the MMU
routines are removed from ArmLib build at the same time, to prevent
conflicting symbols.

On 32-bit ARM, split system memory into a region below (and up to) 4 GB
and a region above 4 GB. This is necessary to get the DXE core to consider
the former as the resource descriptor that describes the primary memory
region that also covers the PHIT region.
