- Added -fno-toplevel-reorder/-fno-unit-at-a-time to the Makefile; this
  is necessary for .code16gcc to be safe on all current versions of gcc.
  Added comment to that effect to code16gcc.h.
- Moved strnlen, atou and isdigit out of printf.c.
- Corrected title of cpu.c and cpucheck.c.
- Fixed "paragraps" typo in pm.c.
- Removed bogus <linux/edd.h> in string.c.
- Removed #include <linux/mmzone.h> from asm-x86/e820.h; according to
  Andi it isn't needed even for non-_SETUP, and my compile testing seems
  to confirm that.

Full diff attached.
