Subject: [PATCHv4] x86/trampoline: Bypass compat mode in trampoline_start64() if not needed

The trampoline_start64() vector is used when a secondary CPU starts in
64-bit mode. The current implementation directly enters compatibility
mode. It is necessary to disable paging and re-enable it in the correct
paging mode: either 4- or 5-level, depending on the configuration.

The X86S[1] ISA does not support compatibility mode in ring 0, and
paging cannot be disabled.

The trampoline_start64() function is reworked to only enter compatibility
mode if it is necessary to change the paging mode. If the CPU is already
in the desired paging mode, it will proceed in long mode.

This change will allow a secondary CPU to boot on an X86S machine as
long as the CPU is already in the correct paging mode.

In the future, there will be a mechanism to switch between paging modes
without disabling paging.

 v4:
  - Establish CS on jumping to tr_start (Andi);
 v3:
  - tr_cr4 is 32-bit, use 32-bit XOR to access it (Sean).
  - Use 32-bit TEST instead of AND to check if LA57 different between
    CR4 and tr_cr4 (Sean).
 v2:
  - Fix build with GCC;
