x86/efi: EFI soft reservation to E820 enumeration

UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific
purpose".

The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback.  Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier. This device-dax management scheme implements "soft" in
the "soft reserved" designation by allowing some or all of the
reservation to be recovered as typical memory. This policy can be
disabled at compile-time with CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=n, or runtime with
efi=nosoftreserve.

This patch introduces 2 new concepts at once given the entanglement
between early boot enumeration relative to memory that can optionally be
reserved from the kernel page allocator by default. The new concepts
are:

- E820_TYPE_SOFT_RESERVED: Upon detecting the EFI_MEMORY_SP
  attribute on EFI_CONVENTIONAL memory, update the E820 map with this
  new type. Only perform this classification if the
  CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=y policy is enabled, otherwise treat it as
  typical ram.

- IORES_DESC_SOFT_RESERVED: Add a new I/O resource descriptor for
  a device driver to search iomem resources for application specific
  memory. Teach the iomem code to identify such ranges as "Soft Reserved".

Note that the comment for do_add_efi_memmap() needed refreshing since it
seemed to imply that the efi map might overflow the e820 table, but that
is not an issue as of commit 7b6e4ba3cb1f "x86/boot/e820: Clean up the
E820_X_MAX definition" that removed the 128 entry limit for
e820__range_add().

A follow-on change integrates parsing of the ACPI HMAT to identify the
node and sub-range boundaries of EFI_MEMORY_SP designated memory. For
now, just identify and reserve memory of this type.
