EFI_MEMORY_UC Memory cacheability attribute: Memory region is not cacheable.
EFI_MEMORY_WC Memory cacheability attribute: Memory region supports write
combining.
EFI_MEMORY_WT Memory cacheability attribute: Memory region is cacheable with
“write through” policy. Writes that hit in the cache will also be
written to main memory.
