    x86/kexec: Replace CALL+UD2 pattern with JMP
    
    Linux jumps to the target image rather than calling it.  Switch to using 
JMP,
    and drop the trailing UD2s.
    
    Linux does have a mode, named CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP, where the target image can 
be
    returned from, but that involves extra metadata and setting up a stack 
within
    the target image which Xen doesn't support at the moment.
    
    No functional change.
