Older binutils breaks if ASSERT() is used without a sink
for the output.

For example 2.14.90.0.6 is known to be broken, the link
fails with:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  ld:arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:678: parse error

Document this quirk in all three files that use it.

  See:    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild&amp;m=124930110427870&amp;w=2
  See[2]: d2ba8b2 ("x86: Fix assert syntax in vmlinux.lds.S")

<title>x86, setup: "glove box" BIOS calls -- infrastructure</title>

Impact: new interfaces (not yet used)

For all the platforms out there, there is an infinite number of buggy
BIOSes.  This adds infrastructure to treat BIOS interrupts more like
toxic waste and "glove box" them -- we switch out the register set,
perform the BIOS interrupt, and then restore the previous state.

<title>x86, setup: move 32-bit code to .text32</title>

Impact: cleanup

The setup code is mostly 16-bit code, but there is a small stub of
32-bit code at the end.  Move the 32-bit code to a separate segment,
.text32, to avoid scrambling the disassembly.
