      x86: Use u32 instead of long to set reset vector back to 0 · 299c5696

      A customer of ours, complained that when setting the reset
      vector back to 0, it trashed other data and hung their box.
      They noticed when only 4 bytes were set to 0 instead of 8,
      everything worked correctly.
      
      Mathew pointed out:

       | We're supposed to be resetting trampoline_phys_low and
       | trampoline_phys_high here, which are two 16-bit values.
       | Writing 64 bits is definitely going to overwrite space
       | that we're not supposed to be touching.

      So limit the area modified to u32.
