[PATCH v4 07/16] x86/cpu: Defer CR pinning setup until after EFI initialization
Posted by Alexander Shishkin 1 year, 7 months ago
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.

So the previous patch makes us not boot, and this fixes it up? Perhaps
order things differently?

Maybe just move LASS enabling (patch 04/16) to the very end of the
patchset?
