efi/libstub: arm: omit sorting of the UEFI memory map
ARM shares its EFI stub implementation with arm64, which has some special handling in the virtual remapping code to a) make sure that we can map everything even if the OS executes with 64k page size, and b) make sure that adjacent regions with the same attributes are not reordered or moved apart in memory. The latter is a workaround for a 'feature' that was shortly recommended by UEFI spec v2.5, but deprecated shortly after, due to the fact that it broke many OS installers, including non-Linux ones, and it was never widely implemented for ARM systems. Before implementing b), the arm64 code simply rounded up all regions to 64 KB granularity, but given that that results in moving adjacent regions apart, it had to be refined when b) was implemented. The adjacency check requires a sort() pass, due to the fact that the UEFI spec does not mandate any ordering, and the inclusion of the lib/sort.c code into the ARM EFI stub is causing some trouble with the decompressor build due to the fact that its EXPORT_SYMBOL() call triggers the creation of ksymtab/kcrctab sections. So let's simply do away with the adjacency check for ARM, and simply put all UEFI runtime regions together if they have the same memory attributes. This is guaranteed to work, given that ARM only supports 4 KB pages, and allows us to remove the sort() call entirely.
