[PATCH] x86/intel/quark: Remove lock bit around kernel IMR

[Bryan O'Donoghue]

Currently when setting up an IMR around the kernel .text area we lock that
IMR, preventing further modification. While superficially this appears to
be the right thing to do, in fact this doesn't account for a legitimate
change in the memory map such as when running through kexec. In such a
scenario a second kernel can have a different size and location to it's
predecessor and can view some of the memory occupied by its predecessor as
legitimately usable RAM. This RAM can then be allocated to DMA agents
within the system and trigger an IMR violation.

The solution to this situation is to keep the kernel .text section IMR lock
bit false. This means that a subsequent kernel will boot and can tear-down
an existing IMR, while still setting up an IMR around its own .text
section.
