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. Signed-off-by: H.
