H. Peter Anvin 02a7b425e8 x86 setup: use X86_CR0_PE macro instead of hard-coded constant
To set CR0.PE, use the X86_CR0_PE macro defined in
<asm/processor-flags.h> instead of hardcoding it as a constant (1).

H. Peter Anvin 88089519f3 x86 setup: initialize LDTR and TR to make life easier to Intel VT
Intel VT doesn't like to engage when the protected-mode state isn't
fully initialized.  Make life easier for it by initializing LDTR (to
null) and TR (to a dummy hunk of low memory which will never actually
be touched.)

H. Peter Anvin c4d9ba6da9 x86 setup: make PM transition more paranoid; cleanup 32-bit entry
Make the transition to protected mode more paranoid by having
back-to-back near jump (to synchronize the 386/486 prefetch queue) and
far jump (to set up the code segment.)

While we're at it, zero as many registers as practical (for future
expandability of the 32-bit entry interface) and enter 32-bit mode
with a valid stack.  Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this
stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit
entrypoint, but it may make debugging hacks easier to write.

H. Peter Anvin 9f259cc59b x86 setup: set %ebx == %ebp == %edi == 0 on protected mode entry
In accordance with the newly formalized 32-bit boot protocol, set
%ebx == %ebp == %edi == 0 in order to support future extensions to the
protocol.

H. Peter Anvin 7ed192906a x86 setup: add a near jump to serialize %cr0 on 386/486
The 386 and 486 needs a jump immediately after setting %cr0 in order
to serialize the pipeline.
