xen: check EFER for NX before setting up GDT mapping
x86-64 assumes NX is available by default, so we need to explicitly check for it before using NX. Some first-generation Intel x86-64 processors didn't support NX, and even recent systems allow it to be disabled in BIOS. [ Impact: prevent Xen crash on NX-less 64-bit machines ] Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Cc: Stable Kernel <stable@kernel.org>
