Subject: [PATCH] [8/22] x86_64: Add EFER to the register set saved by save_processor_state


From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@...ibm.com>


EFER varies like %cr4 depending on the cpu capabilities, and which cpu
capabilities we want to make use of.  So save/restore it make certain
we have the same EFER value when we are done.
