The VRAM of the PL111 on the FVP Base/Foundation models is described as
device memory rather than uncached memory, which is not an accurate
description of the nature of the region (i.e., a framebuffer), and may
result in problems when using accelerated string routines to access the
region, since this may legally involve unaligned accesses or DC ZVA
instructions, which are not allowed on device mappings.
So split of the 8 MB VRAM region into a separate region, and map it using
memory attributes.

The System Memory region might be out of the 32-bit memory space.
This change has been validated on the FVP AArch64 model using 4GB
of DRAM at 0x8_0000_0000:
- # System Memory (2GB)
- gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSystemMemoryBase|0x80000000
- gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSystemMemorySize|0x80000000
+ # System Memory (4GB)
+ gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSystemMemoryBase|0x800000000
+ gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSystemMemorySize|0x100000000
EFI Shell and Linux kernel boot successfully.
Note: This change has not been validated on AArch32. I expect some
early assembly code to not work.
