This patch fixes some bugs of making EFI runtime code executable.

- Use change_page_attr in i386 too. Because the runtime code may be
mapped not through ioremap.

- If there is no _PAGE_NX in __supported_pte_mask, the change_page_attr
is not called.

- Make efi_ioremap map pages as PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC, because EFI runtime
code may be mapped through efi_ioremap.

On 32-bit non-PAE, _PAGE_NX == 0, so this if() statement should be sufficient to disable the whole function at compile time without needing the outer #if defined wrapper.
