jump_to_IPL_code takes a 64 bit address, masks it with the short psw
address mask and later branches to it using a full 64 bit register.

* As the masking is not necessary, let's remove it
* Without the mask we can save the ipl address to a static 64 bit
  function ptr as we later branch to it
* Let's also clean up the variable names and remove the now unneeded
  ResetInfo

Christian, do you remember whether there was a reason that we saved the
"ipl_continue" in the low-core in the past?

The changes here look ok to me, but I still wonder why it has been more
"complicated" before...?

Unfortunately looking at 962982329029acb6651f81b47cb401e593bb62df where
this was introduced also doesn't clear that up.

This construct was made to restore the memory outside of the loader to the
original content. The new code should also work I guess.
