From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@xxxxxxxxx> Some EFI firmware makes use of the FPU during boottime services and clearing X86_CR4_OSFXSR by overwriting %cr4 causes the firmware to crash. Add the PAE bit explicitly instead of trashing the existing contents, leaving the rest of the bits as the firmware set them. Cc: H.
