firmware: MUST boot in HS mode if virtualization is implemented #11

This allows a VM implementation but on a host with virtualization support you shouldn't have surprises.

BRS has this text in the non-normative portion: "UEFI implementations run in 64-bit S-Mode, VS-Mode or HS-Mode, depending on whether virtualization is supported or used."

Again, it's probably a good idea to make this a stronger req.
