GDT needs to be allocated below 4GB in 64bit environment
because AP needs it for entering to protected mode.
CPU running in big real mode cannot access above 4GB GDT.
But CpuDxe driver contains below code:
gdt = AllocateRuntimePool (sizeof (GdtTemplate) + 8);
.....
gdtPtr.Base = (UINT32)(UINTN)(VOID*) gdt;
The AllocateRuntimePool() may allocate memory above 4GB.
Thus, we cannot use AllocateRuntimePool (), instead,
we should use AllocatePages() to make sure GDT is below 4GB space.

(1) I think "mGdtTemplate" would be a better name than "gGdtTemplate". I
think the "g" prefix is used when an object is identical for all
firmware modules (such as named GUIDs, for example).
(2) I think the last hunk does not belong in this patch -- more
precisely, I *disagree* with the last hunk. Inserting a space in the
middle of a typecast, after the parenthesized typename, is a bad
practice in edk2; it is error prone and suggests that typecasts have low
binding power (when in reality they have almost the strongest binding).

(2) Can we drop the (Memory < SIZE_4GB) sub-condition? That should be
guaranteed by the UEFI spec.

Agree! I will change in v2.

I double checked the edk2 coding standard and did find a rule for this.
That might be just my personal preference. Since I need your Ack or Rb, I will remove
this change in v2.
