From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>

In order to map the EFI runtime services, set_virtual_address_map()
needs to be called, which resides in the lower half of the address
space. This means that LASS needs to be temporarily disabled around
this call. This can only be done before the CR pinning is set up.

Move CR pinning setup behind the EFI initialization.

Wrapping efi_enter_virtual_mode() into lass_disable/enable_enforcement()
is not enough because AC flag gates data accesses, but not instruction
fetch. Clearing the CR4 bit is required.
