H. Peter Anvin 9751d76275 x86-64, reboot: Be more paranoid in 64-bit reboot=bios
Be a bit more paranoid in the transition back to 16-bit mode.  In
particular, in case the kernel is residing above the 4 GiB mark,
switch to the trampoline GDT, and make the jump after turning off
paging a far jump.  In theory, none of this should matter, but it is
exactly the kind of things that broken SMM or virtualization software
could trip up on.

H. Peter Anvin 650513979a x86-64, reboot: Allow reboot=bios and reboot-cpu override on x86-64
With the revamped realmode trampoline code, it is trivial to extend
support for reboot=bios to x86-64.  Furthermore, while we are at it,
remove the restriction that only we can only override the reboot CPU
on 32 bits.
