Just thought more about the case.

If a memory range has WB attribute, and code is to set RUNTIME attribute, then 
the WB attribute will be clear in GCD database, it seems wrong. :(
For this case, need have OR operation ( | RUNTIME) to original attribute in GCD 
database?


Thanks,
Star

That is good idea.

Just add more description as the code comment, please.

It is easy for code review later.

Thank you
