This change will create the possibility for memory space holding the UEFI image 
to be over-written by the DXE core code, since this space will then be 
available for allocation. Any such change, if required, should be done just 
before booting the OS.

Subject: [edk2] [PATCH v2] PeiLib : Inform UEFI memory to Linux

While creating Hob list, ArmPlatformPkg is hiding UEFI memory.
whereas this memory can be used by OS.

This patch, allows OS to use UEFI code area.
