Jeremy Fitzhardinge 0ad5bce740 x86: fix possible x86_64 and EFI regression
Russ Anderson reported a boot crash with EFI and latest mainline:

 BIOS-e820: 00000000fffa0000 - 00000000fffac000 (reserved)
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.27-rc5-00100-gec0c15a-dirty #5

 RIP 0x10

Such a crash is possible if the CPU in this system is a 64-bit
processor which doesn't support NX (ie, old Intel P4 -based64-bit
processors).

Certainly, if we support such processors, then we should start with
_PAGE_NX initially clear in __supported_pte_flags, and then set it once
we've established that the processor does indeed support NX.  That will
prevent early_ioremap - or anything else - from trying to set it.

The simple fix is to simply call check_efer() earlier.
