[PATCH] x86 efi: bugfix interrupt disabling sequence

[Bart Kuivenhoven <bemk-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

The problem in efi_main was that the idt was cleared before the
interrupts were disabled.

The UEFI spec states that interrupts aren't used so this shouldn't be
too much of a problem. Peripherals however don't necessarily know about
this and thus might cause interrupts to happen anyway. Even if
ExitBootServices() has been called.

This means there is a risk of an interrupt being triggered while the IDT
register is nullified and the interrupt bit hasn't been cleared,
allowing for a triple fault.

This patch fixes this by clearing the interrupt bit before the lidt
instruction.
