Impact: new interface

Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations.  This is better than
using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
get used.

The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
something into it.

The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
(__brk_base to __brk_limit).  The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
up to __bss_stop.

Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
kernel memory pool.

Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
with a big kernel image and no PSE support).  So long as the system
has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space

While debugging a suspend-to-RAM related issue it occured to me that
if the trampoline code had grown past 4 KB, we would have been
allocating too little memory for it, since the 4 KB size of the
trampoline is hardcoded into arch/x86/kernel/e820.c .  Change that
by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much
memory as necessary.

move early_res related from e820_64.c to e820.c
make edba detection to be done in head32.c
remove smp_alloc_memory, because we have fixed trampoline address now.

Copy x86_64 and add a head32.c so we can start moving early
architecture initialization out of assembly.
