Because ia64 also has an efi_enter_virtual_mode() implementation, but
that's called internally by arch/ia64.
The setup we've got at the moment isn't ideal, as there's a couple of
oddities like this dotted around the kernel. I have plans to try and
unify the EFI code a bit more based on a patch that Matthew Garrett
wrote, which should allow us to do away with things like the above.
