Subject: [PATCH 12/23] x86, realmode: Remove indirect jumps in trampoline_64.S

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...ux.intel.com>

Remove indirect jumps in trampoline_64.S which are no longer
necessary: the realmode code can relocate the absolute jumps
correctly from the start.

Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@...ux.intel.com>
