Just for the record, I realized this patch could be done slightly
cleaner and cleaned it up accordingly.

x86 setup: set %ebx == %ebp == %edi == 0 on protected mode entry
In accordance with the newly formalized 32-bit boot protocol, set
%ebx == %ebp == %edi == 0 in order to support future extensions to the
protocol.

x86 setup: add a near jump to serialize %cr0 on 386/486
The 386 and 486 needs a jump immediately after setting %cr0 in order
to serialize the pipeline.
