x86/efi: Re-disable interrupts after calling firmware services
Some firmware appears to enable interrupts during boot service calls, even if we've explicitly disabled them prior to the call. This is actually allowed per the UEFI spec because boottime services expect to be called with interrupts enabled. So that's fine, we just need to ensure that we disable them again in efi_enter32() before switching to a 64-bit GDT, otherwise an interrupt may fire causing a 32-bit IRQ handler to run after we've left compatibility mode. Despite efi_enter32() being called both for boottime and runtime services, this really only affects boottime because the runtime services callchain is executed with interrupts disabled. See efi_thunk(). Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
