        src/sys/arch/amd64/acpi: acpi_wakecode.S
 
 Log Message:
 Random underdocumented CPU facts:
 AMD K8 and newer will trap when enabling the NX support outside PAE
 paging mode. The AMD64 wake code was restoring the MSR EFER to switch to
 Long Mode and naturally didn't have paging enabled at that point.
 While this works fine with Intel CPUs, it resulted in an immediate
 reboot with AMD processors.
 
 Fixed by a joint brain storming session of jmcneill@, cegger@ and
 myself, based on some input from the hardware developers.  This fixes
 PR 38587.
