H. Peter Anvin 11d4c3f9b6 x86-32: Make sure the stack is set up before we use it
Since checkin ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7 we call
verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode.  Unfortunately, calling a function
means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in
the 32-bit setup code!  This code initializes the stack pointer, and
simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a
pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different
values for the segment register anyway.

This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical
address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants
the other way around...
