Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Continuing work by Ard Biesheuvel to improve the x86 early startup
   code, with the long-term goal to make it position independent:

      - Get rid of early accesses to global objects, either by moving
        them to the stack, deferring the access until later, or dropping
        the globals entirely

      - Move all code that runs early via the 1:1 mapping into
        .head.text, and move code that does not out of it, so that build
        time checks can be added later to ensure that no inadvertent
        absolute references were emitted into code that does not
        tolerate them

      - Remove fixup_pointer() and occurrences of __pa_symbol(), which
        rely on the compiler emitting absolute references, which is not
        guaranteed

 - Improve the early console code

 - Add early console message about ignored NMIs, so that users are at
   least warned about their existence - even if we cannot do anything
   about them

 - Improve the kexec code's kernel load address handling

 - Enable more X86S (simplified x86) bits

 - Simplify early boot GDT handling

 - Micro-optimize the boot code a bit

 - Misc cleanups
