The 32-bit trampoline no longer uses the stack for anything except
performing a long return back to long mode. Currently, this stack is
allocated in the same page that carries the trampoline code, which means
this page must be mapped writable and executable, and the stack is
therefore executable as well.
So let's do a long jump instead: that way, we can pre-calculate the
return address and poke it into the code before we call it. In a later
patch, we will take advantage of this by removing writable permissions
(and adding executable ones) explicitly when booting via the EFI stub.
Not playing with the stack pointer also makes it more straight-forward
to call the trampoline code as an ordinary 64-bit function from C code.

Maybe just add a comment above this to explain that this is a target of
the long jump below to get back into long mode and be able to return
without setting up a new stack for the 32-bit code.
And then a corresponding comment on the long jump itself. I think it would
make it easier to understand what is going on in this part of the code.
Thanks,
Tom
