[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 37/47] x86: Add a way to call 32-bit code from 64-bit mode

Fri Jul 31 17:31:54 CEST 2015
The procedure to drop from 64-bit mode to 32-bit is a bit messy. Add a
function to take care of it. It requires identity-mapped pages and that
the calling code is running below 4GB.

Changes in v2:
- Add a comment about the REX prefix
- Drop the REX prefix in 32-bit mode
