Subject: [PATCH] arch/x86/realmode: make trampoline code conditional for x86-32

Trampoline code is only needed for SMP and in x86-64 for wakeup
code. Make it conditional in order to minimize the kernel size.
Added a new hidden config option CONFIG_X86_TRAMPOLINE as
suggested by H. Peter Anvin.

The justification for this patch is tinyfication effort run by
Josh Triplett. In embedded world a 32-bit processor without SMP
is not uncommon phenomenon.

I think the trampoline code could be completely ripped off if
ACPI_SLEEP and INTEL_TXT are not enabled but did not want to
include that yet into this patch.
