[PATCHv8 00/14] mm, x86/cc: Implement support for unaccepted memory

The UEFI v2.9 specification includes a new memory type to be used in
environments where the OS must accept memory that is provided from its
host. Before the introduction of this memory type, all memory was
accepted eagerly in the firmware. In order for the firmware to safely
stop accepting memory on the OS's behalf, the OS must affirmatively
indicate support to the firmware.

Enabling unaccepted memory requires calling a 0-argument enablement
protocol before ExitBootServices. This call is only made if the kernel
is compiled with UNACCEPTED_MEMORY=y

The naming of the protocol guid is dependent on the standardization of
the protocol, which is being discussed. Acceptance is contingent on
the kernel community's approval.
