Hi Laszlo
This is for UEFI2.5 Properties Table feature. See UEFI 2.5 spec, 4.6 EFI 
Configuration Table & Properties Table, page 105.

//
// Memory attribute (Not defined bits are reserved)
//
#define EFI_PROPERTIES_RUNTIME_MEMORY_PROTECTION_NON_EXECUTABLE_PE_DATA 0x1
// BIT 0 - description - implies the runtime data is separated from the code
This bit implies that the UEFI runtime code and data sections of the executable 
image are separate
and aligned to at least a 4KiB boundary. This bit also implies that the data 
pages do no have any
executable code.

A platform may use gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PropertiesTableEnable to 
control enable or disable this feature.
In order to meet "secure by default" rule, we define it TRUE as default 
configuration in MdeModulePkg.

If a platform does not want to enable this feature, it can override this PCD to 
be FALSE.
If a platform wants to enable this feature, it can override link option to make 
code/data 4K aligned for any runtime driver.

Thank you
Yao Jiewen

I just noticed that the above message is printed under OVMF for all 
DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER modules. Why does that happen?

Thanks
Laszlo
