Bryan O'Donoghue dd71a17b11 x86/platform/intel/quark: Change the kernel's IMR lock bit to false
Currently when setting up an IMR around the kernel's .text section we lock
that IMR, preventing further modification. While superficially this appears
to be the right thing to do, in fact this doesn't account for a legitimate
change in the memory map such as when executing a new kernel via kexec.

In such a scenario a second kernel can have a different size and location
to it's predecessor and can view some of the memory occupied by it's
predecessor as legitimately usable DMA RAM. If this RAM were then
subsequently allocated to DMA agents within the system it could conceivably
trigger an IMR violation.

This patch fixes the this potential situation by keeping the kernel's .text
section IMR lock bit false by default.
