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

commit 299c56966a72b9109d47c71a6db52097098703dd upstream.

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.
