Re: [PATCH 1/3] x86/boot: Add bit fields into xloadflags for 5-level kernel checking

I don't understand why there is any reason not to always enter the target
kernel in 4-level mode. There certainly is no point whatsoever in having two
xloadflags: the only thing that could possibly matter is whether or not the
kernel in question *can* be entered in 5-level mode should that ever be necessary.
