2012-05-21	x86, realmode: Move end signature into header.S	H. Peter Anvin
	The end signature was defined in wakeup_asm.S as it originally came from the ACPI wakeup code. However, we rely on the existence of the .signature section to expand .bss, otherwise we would have to include code to explicitly zero the .bss depending on the configuration. Since the expanded .bss is just in .init.data anyway, it's easier to always have it expanded. This fixes failures when compiled without CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP.

2012-05-08	x86, realmode: Replace open-coded ljmpw with a macro	H. Peter Anvin
	We cannot code an ljmpw to the real-mode segment directly, because gas refuses to assemble an ljmp with a symbolic segment. Instead of open-coding it everywhere, define a macro and use it for this case. This is specifically an ljmpw from a 16-bit segment. This is okay, as one should never enter real mode from a 32-bit segment: if one do, the CPU ends up in a bizarre (and useless) mode sometimes called "unreal mode" where segments behave like real mode but the default address and operand sizes is 32 bits.
