They were imported from non-LPAE Linux, but Xen is LPAE only. It is time
to do some clean-up in the memory attribute and keep only what make
sense for Xen. Follow-up patch will do more clean-up.

Also, update the comment saying our attribute matches Linux.

I am OK with removing unused memory attributes, but please update
MAIR0VAL and MAIR1VAL accordingly.  They still have their old values
here.

As you may have seen below in the patch. They were just aliased to other 
attributes:

#define DEV_NONSHARED DEV_SHARED
#define DEV_CACHED    WRITEBACK

I removed them because they are unused and just wrongly named.

So there are no need to update MAIR0VAL and MAIR1VAL.

Cheers,
