[PATCH -v3] x86: Save cr4 to mmu_cr4_features at boot time

Save cr4 to mmu_cr4_features at boot time

Michael reported 2.6.38.2 hibernation is broken by one backported patch.
it cause a freeze when resuming from hibernation

| "x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded"
| commit id e5f15b45ddf3afa2bbbb10c7ea34fb32b6de0a0e.

it turns out the mmu_cr4 save it lost somehow.

-v3: read back cr4 for 32bit too according to HPA
