[edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 02/38] ArmPkg/ArmMmuLib ARM: Split off XN page descriptor bit from type field

With large page support out of the picture, we can treat bits 1 and 0 of
the page descriptor as individual valid and XN bits, instead of treating
XN as a page type. Doing so aligns the handling of the attribute with
the section descriptor layout, as well as the XN handling on AArch64,
and this is beneficial for maintainability.
