From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> In order for the EFI mixed mode startup code to be reusable in a context where the legacy decompressor is not used, replace the call to verify_cpu() [which performs an elaborate set of checks] with a simple check against the 'long mode' bit in the appropriate CPUID leaf. This is reasonable, given that EFI support is implied when booting in this manner, and so there is no need to consider very old CPUs when performing this check.
