04f3206581 [build] Fix building on Ubuntu 8.04
Not fully understood, but it seems that the LMA of bss sections matters
for some newer binutils builds.  Force all bss sections to have an LMA
at the end of the file, so that they don't interfere with other
sections.

The symptom was that objcopy -O binary -j .zinfo would extract the
.zinfo section from bin/xxx.tmp as a blob of the correct length, but
with zero contents.  This would then cause the [ZBIN] stage of the
build to fail.

Also explicitly state that .zinfo(.*) sections have @progbits, in case
some future assembler or linker variant decides to omit them.

13d09e6719 [i386] Simplify linker script and standardise linker-defined symbol names
Reduce the number of sections within the linker script to match the
number of practical sections within the output file.

Define _section, _msection, _esection, _section_filesz, _section_memsz,
and _section_lma for each section, replacing the mixture of symbols that
previously existed.

In particular, replace _text and _end with _textdata and _etextdata, to
make it explicit within code that uses these symbols that the .text and
.data sections are always treated as a single contiguous block.

03ca71c38d Move stack to below 0x7c00; leaving it at the default location
(0x7ef4) tends to really screw up anything that loads at 0x7c00...

89da833c5d init_librm() and prot_call() are now real-mode far calls.
install() now calls relocate(), moves the protected-mode code to the new
location, and calls hide_etherboot().

f8f75cef5b BSS is now zeroed by libprefix (along with the otherwise non-zeroable
portions such as the stack) during the installation process.

init_fns() are called from main().  We need to think about initial
control flow some more.

10c28a51bd Create two easy-to-use entry points in libprefix: install and
install_prealloc.  I *think* these will suffice for all the 16-bit
prefixes.

9fcded3d23 Towards a(nother) new real-mode infrastructure, in which we take
advantage of the fact that we have to have a permanently-resident block
in base memory.
