UEFI v2.5 introduces a runtime memory protection feature that splits
PE/COFF runtime images into separate code and data regions. Since this
may require special handling by the OS, allocate a EFI_xxx bit to
keep track of whether this feature is currently active or not.

here's v2 of 2/2 only, with your comments addressed.
