> The security researcher found that we can get control after NEM disable.
> 
> The reason is that the flash content reside in NEM at startup and the
> code will get the content from flash directly after disable NEM.
> 
> To avoid this vulnerability, the feature will copy the PEIMs from
> temporary memory to permanent memory and only execute the code in
> permanent memory.
> 
> The vulnerability is exist in physical platform and haven't report in
> virtual platform, so the virtual can disable the feature currently.
