SubjectRe: [PATCH V6 3/4] arm64: apei: implement arch_apei_get_mem_attributes()
From
Date
Thanks Will. I will create a new patch in this patch set to supplement
arm64's page protection type definitions accordingly to meet the needs
as defined in UEFI 2.5 table 8. More comments inline...

Yes, I will define PROT_DEVICE_nGnRnE.

For WC, PROT_NORMAL_NC will be returned.
For WT, I will define PROT_NORNMAL_WT. To enable that, I will also
need to add MT_NORMAL_WT to MAIR_EL1.
