Subject: [PATCH v4 01/11] x86, boot: move verify_cpu.S after 0x200

We are short of space before 0x200 that is entry for startup_64.

According to hpa, we can not change startup_64 to other offset and
that become ABI now.

We could move function verify_cpu down, and that could avoid extra
code of jmp back and forth if we would move other lines.
