    x86/efi: Hoist page table switching code into efi_call_virt() · c9f2a9a6
    Matt Fleming 提交于
    This change is a prerequisite for pending patches that switch to
    a dedicated EFI page table, instead of using 'trampoline_pgd'
    which shares PGD entries with 'swapper_pg_dir'. The pending
    patches make it impossible to dereference the runtime service
    function pointer without first switching %cr3.
    
    It's true that we now have duplicated switching code in
    efi_call_virt() and efi_call_phys_{prolog,epilog}() but we are
    sacrificing code duplication for a little more clarity and the
    ease of writing the page table switching code in C instead of
    asm.
