Unable to enable 5 level paging
Description of problem:
When attempting to set cr4.LA57, qemu just freezes on that instruction. When I say freeze I mean literally freeze, no exceptions, nothing, it just halts forever on that instruction. When this happened, the first thing I did was
```
(qemu) info registers
EAX=00001000 EBX=00000001 ECX=80224f08 EDX=00000000
ESI=8034a3a0 EDI=00026520 EBP=000079f8 ESP=000079c8

DR6=00000000ffff0ff0 DR7=0000000000000400
EFER=0000000000000000
...
```
then using gdb to figure out what instruction it is hanging on, I set a breakpoint at 0x19648 at and ran
```
(gdb) x/1 0x19648
=> 0x19648: mov %rax,%cr4
(gdb)
```
This instruction corresponds to this LOC within limine https://github.com/limine-bootloader/limine/blob/trunk/stage23/protos/stivale.32.c#L33
Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to enable 5 level paging
2. qemu freezes when trying to set cr4.LA57
3. cry
Additional information:
This never happened prior to version 6.1, I test this on multiple different machines and a few of my friends
experienced the same issue
I have not tested this on linux, however I assume it will do the same on anything else.
Either way, qemu should not be just halting
