On Apple Silicon, access to MMIO requires Device-nGnRnE while Device-nGnRE results in SErrors. UEFI defines the EFI_MEMORY_ISA_MASK for cases like that which just contains the MAIR attribute bits. We cannot support any other Device- types without changing MAIR so just warn and fall back to the previous default, Device-nGnRE, if we encounter anything else.
