[PATCH 6/6] arm64: efi/libstub: enter with the MMU on if executing in place

[Ard Biesheuvel]

If the kernel image has not been moved from the place where it was
loaded by the firmware, just call the kernel entrypoint directly, and
keep the MMU and caches enabled. This removes the need for any cache
invalidation in the entry path.
