kexec: Move segment code to assembly file (i386)
This patch moves the idt, gdt, and segment handling code from machine_kexec.c
to relocate_kernel.S. The main reason behind this move is to avoid code
duplication in the Xen hypervisor. With this patch all code required to kexec
is put on the control page.
