arm64/acpi: disallow writeable AML opregion mapping for EFI code regions
Given that the contents of EFI runtime code and data regions are provided by the firmware, as well as the DSDT, it is not unimaginable that AML code exists today that accesses EFI runtime code regions using a SystemMemory OpRegion. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that, but since we take great care to ensure that executable code is never mapped writeable and executable at the same time, we should not permit AML to create writable mapping.
