Most modern x86 CPUs include more than one CPU core. The OS normally requires
that these 'Application Processors' (APs) be brought up by the boot loader.
Add the required support to U-Boot to init additional APs.

The existing code is pretty ancient and is unreliable on modern hardware.
Generally it will hang.
We can use port 0xcf9 to initiate reset on more modern hardware (say in the
last 10 years). Update the reset_cpu() function to do this, and add a new
'full reset' function to perform a full power cycle.

Option ROMs require a few additional descriptors. Add these, and remove the
enum since we now have to access several descriptors from assembler.

Putting global data on the stack simplifies the init process (and makes it
slightly quicker). During the 'flash' stage of the init sequence, global
data is in the CAR stack. After SDRAM is initialised, global data is copied
from CAR to the SDRAM stack

Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

Changes for v2:
- Rebased against changes made to patch #3
- Removed extra indent
- Tweaked commit message
There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.
