7a734e7dd9 x86, setup: "glove box" BIOS calls -- infrastructure
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.

be721696ca x86, setup: move 32-bit code to .text32
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.
