[PATCH 18/18] x86: Use a simple jump into long mode

With the 64-bit descriptor we can use a jump instruction, rather than
pushing things on the stack.
Since the processor is in 64-bit mode by this point, pop a 64-bit value
from the stack, containing the target address.
This simplifies the code slightly, in particular its use of the stack.
