Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: use EFI to deal with platform wall clock

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.

(Note that due to the lack of hardware I wasn't able to test this on
32-bit EFI - Matt offered to do so subsequently.)
