Eric W. Biederman 26374c7b7d [PATCH] Reload CS when startup_64 is used. ...

In long mode the %cs is largely a relic.  However there are a few cases
like iret where it matters that we have a valid value.  Without this
patch it is possible to enter the kernel in startup_64 without setting
%cs to a valid value.  With this patch we don't care what %cs value
we enter the kernel with, so long as the cs shadow register indicates
it is a privileged code segment.

Thanks to Magnus Damm for finding this problem and posting the
first workable patch.  I have moved the jump to set %cs down a
few instructions so we don't need to take an extra jump.  Which
keeps the code simpler.
