[PATCH v4 00/15] Make EFI memory allocations synchronous with LMB

This is part two of the series to have the EFI and LMB modules have a
coherent view of memory. Part one of this goal was to change the LMB
module to have a global and persistent memory map. Those patches have
now been applied to the next branch.
These patches are changing the EFI memory allocation API's such that
they rely on the LMB module to allocate RAM memory. This fixes the
current scenario where the EFI memory module has no visibility of the
allocations/reservations made by the LMB module. One thing to note
here is that this is limited to the RAM memory region, i.e. the
EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY type. Any other memory type that is to be
added to the EFI memory map, still gets handled by the EFI memory
module.
Changes since V3:
* Add comments for the LMB_NOOVERWRITE and LMB_NONOTIFY flags
* Drop use of is_addr_in_ram() function
* Drop use of CONFIG_MEM_MAP_UPDATE_NOTIFY symbol to check if the
notification needs to be sent.
* s/lmb_notify/lmb_should_notify
* Put a check for EFI_LOADER in the lmb_should_notify() function
Some test logs to highlight the issue that is being fixed by the series.
