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.
