Ard Biesheuvel 51bb05c795 ArmVirtPkg/QemuVirtMemInfoLib: trim the MMIO region mapping
QEMU/mach-virt is rather unhelpful when it comes to tracking down
NULL pointer dereferences that occur while running in UEFI: since
we have NOR flash mapped at address 0x0, inadvertent reads go
unnoticed, and even most writes are silently dropped, unless you're
unlucky and the instruction in question is one that KVM cannot
emulate, in which case you end up with a QEMU crash like this:

and a warning in the host kernel log that load/store instruction
decoding is not supported by KVM.

Given that the first page of the flash device is not actually
used anyway, let's reduce the mappings of the peripheral space
and the flash device (both of which cover page #0) to only cover
what is actually required:

  ArmVirtQemu.fdf:
  > 0x00001000|0x001ff000
  > gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFvBaseAddress|gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFvSize

  ArmVirtQemuKernel.fdf:
  > 0x00008000|0x001f8000
  > gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFvBaseAddress|gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFvSize

For ArmVirtQemu, the resulting virtual mapping looks roughly like:
- [0, 4K)       : flash, unmapped
- [4K, 2M)      : flash, mapped as WB+X RAM
- [2M, 64M)     : flash, unmapped
- [64M, 128M)   : varstore flash, will be mapped by the NOR flash driver
- [128M, 256M)  : peripherals, mapped as device
- [256M, 1GB)   : 32-bit MMIO aperture, translated IO aperture, ECAM,
                  will be mapped by the PCI host bridge driver
- [1GB, ...)    : RAM, mapped.

After this change, any inadvertent read or write from/to the first
physical page will trigger a translation fault inside the guest,
regardless of the nature of the instruction, without crashing QEMU.
