PEI Stack Guard needs to enable paging before DxeIpl. This might cause #GP in the transition from 32-bit PEI to 64-bit DXE due to the code trying to write CR3 register with PML4 page table while the processor is enabled with PAE paging.
Simply disabling paging before updating CR3 can solve this conflict. There's no such issue for 64-bit PEI so this change applies only to 32-bit code.
