Later (after more feedback has been collected), I would like to
regression-test this series; for now, just some superficial comments:

(1) Are the above checks (CPUID and CR4) interchangeable on AMD
processors too?

(2) Quite unimportant comment, but I might as well make it:

- In library code, it's best to refer to actual module names with
gEfiCallerBaseName. "CpuMp" isn't ideal in this log message.

- "ExchangeInfo->Enable5LevelPaging" is a UINTN; we shouldn't log it
with %d. The portable logging for UINTN is to cast it to UINT64, and
print it with %Lu. In this particular case, we know it's either 0 or 1,
so we can print it with %d too, but then we should cast it to INT32.

(3) Any particular reason for "0A0h" rather than just "A0h"?

(4) If we use a byte comparison here, why don't we make the field itself
a UINT8 (or even BOOLEAN)? The MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO structure is packed.

(If we still want to use a whole UINTN for this purpose, then I think
the zero comparison should cover the whole field.)

(5) Not too important, but we might as well be consistent with the
naming elsewhere, and call this "SkipEnable5LevelPaging". Up to you.

Thanks
