Subject: [PATCH] x86: Stop relying on magic jmp behavior for early_idt_handlers

The early_idt_handlers asm code generates an array of entry points
spaced nine bytes apart.  It's not really clear from that code
or from the places that reference it what's going on, and the code
only works in the first place because gas never generates two-byte
jmp instructions when jumping to global labels.

Clean up the code to generate the correct array stride explicitly.
This should be considerably more robust against screw-ups, as gas
will warn if a .fill directive has a negative count.  Using '. =' to
advance would have been even more robust (it would generate an
actual error if it tried to move backwards), but it would pad with
nulls, confusing anyone who tries to disassemble the code.  The new
scheme should be much clearer to future readers.

Binutils may start relaxing jumps to non-weak labels.  If so, this
change will fix our build, and we may need to backport this change.

Before, on x86_64:

0000000000000000 <early_idt_handlers>:
   0:   6a 00                   pushq  $0x0
   2:   6a 00                   pushq  $0x0
   4:   e9 00 00 00 00          jmpq   9 <early_idt_handlers+0x9>
                        5: R_X86_64_PC32        early_idt_handler-0x4
...
  48:   66 90                   xchg   %ax,%ax
  4a:   6a 08                   pushq  $0x8
  4c:   e9 00 00 00 00          jmpq   51 <early_idt_handlers+0x51>
                        4d: R_X86_64_PC32       early_idt_handler-0x4
...
 117:   6a 00                   pushq  $0x0
 119:   6a 1f                   pushq  $0x1f
 11b:   e9 00 00 00 00          jmpq   120 <early_idt_handler>
                        11c: R_X86_64_PC32      early_idt_handler-0x4

After:

0000000000000000 <early_idt_handlers>:
   0:   6a 00                   pushq  $0x0
   2:   6a 00                   pushq  $0x0
   4:   e9 14 01 00 00          jmpq   11d <early_idt_handler>
...
  48:   6a 08                   pushq  $0x8
  4a:   e9 d1 00 00 00          jmpq   120 <early_idt_handler>
  4f:   cc                      int3
  50:   cc                      int3
...
 117:   6a 00                   pushq  $0x0
 119:   6a 1f                   pushq  $0x1f
 11b:   eb 03                   jmp    120 <early_idt_handler>
 11d:   cc                      int3
 11e:   cc                      int3
 11f:   cc                      int3
