[PATCHv7 05/16] efi: Disable LASS around set_virtual_address_map() EFI call

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

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

Of all the EFI runtime services, set_virtual_address_map() is the only
one that is called at its lower mapping, which LASS prohibits regardless
of EFLAGS.AC setting. The only way to allow this to happen is to disable
LASS in the CR4 register.

Disable LASS around this low address EFI call.
