Subject: [PATCH 11/15] x86: LAM initialization

To make use of KASAN's tag based mode on x86 Linear Address Masking
(LAM) needs to be enabled. To do that the 28th bit in CR4 needs to be
set.

Set the bit in early memory initialization.

When launching secondary CPUs the LAM bit gets lost. To avoid this it
needs to get added in a mask in head_64.S. The bit mask permits some
bits of CR4 to pass from the primary CPU to the secondary CPUs without
being cleared.
