    This patch introduces new boot option named "efi_fake_mem".
    By specifying this parameter, you can add arbitrary attribute
    to specific memory range.
    This is useful for debugging of Address Range Mirroring feature.
    
    For example, if "efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000"
    is specified, the original (firmware provided) EFI memmap will be
    updated so that the specified memory regions have
    EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (0x10000):
    
     <original>
       efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory|  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x00000020a0000000) (129536MB)
    
     <updated>
       efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory|  |MR|  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x0000000180000000) (2048MB)
       efi: mem37: [Conventional Memory|  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000180000000-0x00000010a0000000) (61952MB)
       efi: mem38: [Conventional Memory|  |MR|  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000010a0000000-0x0000001120000000) (2048MB)
       efi: mem39: [Conventional Memory|  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000001120000000-0x00000020a0000000) (63488MB)
    
    And you will find that the following message is output:
    
       efi: Memory: 4096M/131455M mirrored memory
