arch/x86: Implement minimal bootblock for C_ENVIRONMENT_BOTOBLOCK
Some newer x86 systems can boot from non-memory-mapped boot media (e.g. EMMC). The bootblock may be backed by small amounts of SRAM, or other memory, similar to how most ARM chipsets work. In such cases, we may not have enough code space for romstage very early on. This means that CAR setup and early boot media (e.g. SPI, EMMC) drivers need to be implemented within the limited amount memory of storage available. Since the reset vector has to be contained in this early code memory, the bootblock is the best place to implement loading of other stages. Implement a bootblock which does the minimal initialization, up to, and including switch to protected mode. This then transfers control to platform-specific code. No stack is needed, and control is transferred via a "jmp" such that no stack operations are involved.
