Kelvin Zhang f356261b67 [lib][uefi] Allow identity mapped pages to be free'ed
Since UEFI requires app to be run in physical address space,
we allocate memory that are identity mapped. Previous identity
mapping works as follows:

1. call vmm_alloc_contigious to obtain a VA1(virtual address) mapping to
   PA1(physical address)
2. Use arch_mmu_query to obtain PA1 from VA1
3. arch_mmu_unmap VA1 <-> PA1
4. arch_mmu_map PA1 <-> PA1

Now we can return PA1 as a valid virtual address pointer, which is
mapped to physical memory. However, this has problems. LK allocates a
vmm_region_t struct for each call to vmm_alloc_* . This struct can
never be free'ed, as the associated virtual address VA1 is forever
lost. We can't even free PA1, as PA1 is not a valid argument to
vmm_free(PA1 does not have associated vmm_region_t struct).

The new approach uses pmm_alloc and vmm_reserve_space, allowing
vmm_free_region to be called.
