In order for the EFI mixed mode startup code to be reusable in a context where the legacy decompressor is not used, replace the call to verify_cpu() [which performs an elaborate set of checks] with a simple check against the 'long mode' bit in the appropriate CPUID leaf. This is reasonable, given that EFI support is implied when booting in this manner, and so there is no need to consider very old CPUs when performing this check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
