Jan Beulich bd52276fa1 x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock (again)
Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
{g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.

Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
(which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
efi-get-time in physical mode).

Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).

Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
they're not being referenced elsewhere.

History:

    This commit was originally merged as bacef661ac ("x86-64/efi:
    Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some
    ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was
    reverted in f026cfa82f. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS
    firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable
    mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be
    reapplied.
