Subject: [PATCH 2/4] x86/boot: Defer setup_real_mode() to early_initcall time

There's no need to run setup_real_mode() as early as we run it.
Defer it to the same early_initcall that sets up the page
permissions for the real mode code.

This should be a code size reduction.  More importantly, it give us
a longer window in which we can allocate the real mode trampoline.
