[edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] MdeModulePkg/VirtualMemory: drop 5-level paging assert

["Gerd Hoffmann" <kraxel@redhat.com>]

The ResetVector decides at runtime (depending in CPU capabilities)
whenever it uses 5-level paging or not.  Firmware builds with 5-level
paging enabled (PcdUse5LevelPageTable=TRUE) may run run in 4-level
paging mode.  The code handles that just fine, by looking at the la57
bit in cr4 instead of checking PcdUse5LevelPageTable.

The ASSERT is not correct, remove it.
