Enabling VT features on an Acer Timeline laptop with Linux and EFI GRUB

One of the Acer Timeline Launchpad team members has reported on enabling the VT features on a 3810TG laptop running Linux. Using a USB stick loaded with the BOOTX64.EFI image, and using a downgraded Acer BIOS, the VT can successfully be enabled. Then one can upgrade the BIOS back to the latest one.
