Alex Smith e5fc2bfcab Implemented long mode setup/switch code, the bootloader can now start the 64-bit kernel!
The setup procedure is fairly simple: create a 64-bit GDT and 64-bit page
tables that include all kernel mappings from the 32-bit address space, but at
the correct 64-bit address, then go through kernel_args and changes all virtual
addresses to 64-bit addresses, and finally switch to long mode and jump to the
kernel.
