Documentation/x86: Update EFI memory region description

Make it clear that the EFI page tables are only available during
EFI runtime calls since that subject has come up a fair numbers
of times in the past.

Additionally, add the EFI region start and end addresses to the
table so that it's possible to see at a glance where they fall
in relation to other regions.

Current X86-64 implementations only support 40 bits of address space,
but we support up to 46 bits. This expands into MBZ space in the page tables.

We map EFI runtime services in the aforementioned PGD in the virtual

We map EFI runtime services in the 'efi_pgd' PGD in a 64Gb large virtual
memory window (this size is arbitrary, it can be raised later if needed).
The mappings are not part of any other kernel PGD and are only available
during EFI runtime calls.
