arch/x86: Move prologue to .init section
For arch/x86 the realmode part has to be located within the same 64 KiB as the reset vector. Some older intel platforms also require 4 KiB alignment for _start16bit. To enforce the above, and to separate required parts of .text without matching *(.text.*) rules in linker scripts, tag the pre-C environment assembly code with section .init directive. Description of .init section for ELF: This section holds executable instructions that contribute to the process initialization code. When a program starts to run, the system arranges to execute the code in this section before calling the main program entry point (called main for C programs).
