[PATCH 1/2] x86/boot/64: use 'push' instead of 'call' in start_cpu()

[Josh Poimboeuf]

start_cpu() pushes a text address on the stack so that stack traces from
idle tasks will show start_cpu() at the end.  But it uses a call
instruction to do that, which is rather obtuse.  Use a straightforward
push instead.
