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.
