PnP BIOS for x86 is part of drivers, so I missed it in the initial
GDT page alignment patch. Kudos to Andrew for fixing that.
Unfortunately, fixing the build introduced a kernel panic when
trying to setup the as of yet unallocated GDTs for the APs.
This fixes the problem by setting only the BSP's GDT, then copying
the PnP segments back to the cpu_gdt_table template.
