xen: check EFER for NX before setting up GDT mapping
x86-64 assumes NX is available by default, so we need to
explicitly check for it before using NX. Some first-generation
Intel x86-64 processors didn't support NX, and even recent systems
allow it to be disabled in BIOS.
[ Impact: prevent Xen crash on NX-less 64-bit machines ]
