[PATCH v7 6/6] x86/efi: Safely enable unaccepted memory in UEFI

From: Dionna Glaze <dionnaglaze@google.com>

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. This is only a problem for AMD
SEV-SNP, since Linux has had support for it since 5.19. The other
technology that can make use of unaccepted memory, Intel TDX, does not
yet have Linux support, so it can strictly require unaccepted memory
support as a dependency of CONFIG_TDX and not require communication with
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

This protocol will be removed after the end of life of the first LTS
that includes it, in order to give firmware implementations an
expiration date for it. When the protocol is removed, firmware will
strictly infer that a SEV-SNP VM is running an OS that supports the
unaccepted memory type. At the earliest convenience, when unaccepted
memory support is added to Linux, SEV-SNP may take strict dependence in
it. After the firmware removes support for the protocol, this patch
should be reverted.

[tl: address some checkscript warnings]
