Add a flag LMB_NONOTIFY that can be passed to the LMB API's for
reserving memory. This will then result in no notification being sent
from the LMB module for the changes to the LMB's memory map.

You seem to be using this in patch 3 and 7.

Please, describe in this patch why you want to be able to suppress
notification.

In the EFI context we should use LMB notification to notify the
EFI_EVENT_GROUP_MEMORY_MAP_CHANGE event.

See chapter 7.1.2 EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.CreateEventEx() in the UEFI
specification.

Best regards

Heinrich
