Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] x86/purgatory: Fix sparse warning, symbol not declared

Sparse emits warning, 'symbol not declared' for a function that has
neither file scope nor a forward declaration. The functions only call
site is an ASM file.

Add a header file with the function declaration. Include the
header file in the C source file defining the function in order
to fix the sparse warning. Include the header file in ASM file
containing the call site thereby adding documentation of usage.
