Actually, we stick that MSR - EFER - into the trampoline header and then
each AP gets it written to in arch/x86/realmode/rm/trampoline_64.S

But this is only from code staring - I'll confirm this tomorrow.

And if so, we should at least put comments in that trampoline code so
that people do not remove the MSR writes.

Or, actually, we should simply write it again because it is the init
path and not really a hot path but it should damn well make sure that
that bit gets set.

Thx.
