cpu/x86/smm: Add support for long mode
Enable long mode in SMM handler. x86_32 isn't affected by this change. As the rsm instruction used to leave SMM doesn't restore MSR registers, drop back to protected mode after running the smi_handler and restore IA32_EFER MSR (which enables long mode support) to previous value. NOTE: This commit does NOT introduce a new security model. It uses the same page tables as the remaining firmware does. This can be a security risk if someone is able to manipulate the page tables stored in ROM at runtime. USE FOR TESTING ONLY! Tested on Qemu Q35.
