This unifies arch/*/boot (except arch/*/boot/compressed) between
i386 and x86-64, and uses the new x86 setup code for x86-64 as well.

The relocatable kernel code needs a scratch field for the decompressor
to determine its own location. It was using a location inside
struct screen_info; reserve a free location and document it as scratch
instead.

(This was under Xen, but there's no reason it couldn't happen on bare
hardware.)
This patch mallocs the local variables, thereby reducing the stack
usage to sane levels.
Also, up the heap size for the kernel decompressor to deal with the
extra allocation.

o This patch moves the code to verify long mode and SSE to a common file.
This code is now shared by trampoline.S, wakeup.S, boot/setup.S and
boot/compressed/head.S
o So far we used to do very limited check in trampoline.S, wakeup.S and
in 32bit entry point. Now all the entry paths are forced to do the
exhaustive check, including SSE because verify_cpu is shared.
o I am keeping this patch as last in the x86 relocatable series because
previous patches have got quite some amount of testing done and don't want
to distrub that. So that if there is problem introduced by this patch, at
least it can be easily isolated.

o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons.
- Performance.
- For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference
between compile time address and load time physical address.
This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data
is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB
aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time
kernel addresses are 2MB aligned.
o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which
does not meet alignment restrictions.

This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run
at any 2M aligned address, below 512G. The technique used is to
compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor
is fully relocatable. For the main kernel the page tables are
modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address. In
addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address
the kernel is loaded at. __pa_symbol is modified to add that when
we take the address of a kernel symbol.
When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress
the kernel to 2M and it will run there. This both ensures the
relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M
pages for the kernel and the cpu.

When compiling a 64-bit kernel on an Ubuntu 6.06 32bit system (whose GCC is also
a cross-compiler for x86_64) I've seen that head.o is compiled as a 64-bit file
(while it should not) and ld complaining about this during linking:
[AK: it happens on all systems with new binutils]
ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/head.o' is incompatible with i386 output
I've verified that removing -m64 from compilation flags to turn
"-m64 -traditional -m32" into "-traditional -m32" fixes the issue.

For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need
to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory. To accomplish this
the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses.
This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86_64 kernel
so we can do just that. You need to know what you are doing and
the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users
won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled
with this option but they will still load at 1MB. If you need a kernel
loaded at a different address as well you need to boot a vmlinux.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
