[PATCH 00/16] 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.
Note: To be applied on top of the next branch.
Sughosh Ganu (16):
lmb: add versions of the lmb API with flags
lmb: add a flag to allow suppressing memory map change notification
efi: memory: use the lmb API's for allocating and freeing memory
event: add event to notify lmb memory map changes
lib: Kconfig: add a config symbol for getting lmb memory map updates
add a function to check if an address is in RAM memory
lmb: notify of any changes to the LMB memory map
efi_memory: add an event handler to update memory map
ti: k3: remove efi_add_known_memory() function definition
stm32mp: remove efi_add_known_memory() function definition
lmb: allow for boards to specify memory map
layerscape: use the lmb API's to add RAM memory
x86: e820: use the lmb API for adding RAM memory
efi_memory: do not add RAM memory to the memory map
lmb: remove call to efi_lmb_reserve()
test: event: update the expected event dump output
