OK, so what I need to know right now is whether I need to drop this
entire series from my pull request or whether you can send a patch on
top of the existing ones in the EFI 'next' branch to address the mapping
heuristic in arch_apei_get_mem_attributes().

Assuming this memmap entry is indicative of most GHES region on arm64
right now, I think it's worth taking this patch as-is and addressing the
issue Ard raised as a separate patch.

Does that work?
