That jmp 1f becomes redundant now as it simply jumps 1 line below.
Uh... am I the only person to notice that ALL that is needed here is:
andl $(X86_CR4_PAE|X86_CR4_LA57), %r13d
movq %r13, %rax
... since %r13 is dead afterwards, and PAE *will* have been set in %r13
already?
I don't believe that this specific jmp is actually needed -- there are
several more synchronizing jumps later -- but it doesn't hurt.
However, if the effort is for improving the readability, it might be
worthwhile to encapsulate the "jmp 1f; 1:" as a macro, e.g. "SYNC_CODE".
