Misc updates:
- Remove last remaining calls to exception_enter/exception_exit() and
simplify the entry code some more.
- Remove force_iret()
- Add support for "Fast Short Rep Mov", which is available starting with
Ice Lake Intel CPUs - and make the x86 assembly version of memmove()
use REP MOV for all sizes when FSRM is available.
- Micro-optimize/simplify the 32-bit boot code a bit.
- Use a more future-proof SYSRET instruction mnemonic

x86/boot: Simplify calculation of output address
Condense the calculation of decompressed kernel start a little.
Committer notes:
before:
ebp = ebx - (init_size - _end)
after:
eax = (ebx + _end) - init_size
where in both ebx contains the temporary address the kernel is moved to
for in-place decompression.
The before and after difference in register state is %eax and %ebp
but that is immaterial because the compressed image is not built with
-mregparm, i.e., all arguments of the following extract_kernel() call
are passed on the stack.
