ipxe: fix compilation issues with some gcc versions

Backported some changes from current ipxe, to fix a issue with some
new versions of gcc that add -fPIC by default, and compilation fails
with the following error:

arch/i386/core/cpu.c: In function 'get_cpuinfo':
arch/i386/include/bits/cpu.h:79:2: error: inconsistent operand
constraints in an 'asm'
arch/i386/include/bits/cpu.h:79:2: error: inconsistent operand
constraints in an 'asm'

constraints in an 'asm'
arch/i386/include/bits/cpu.h:79:2: error: inconsistent operand
constraints in an 'asm'

Two patches from ipxe git have been added. The problem is reproducible
with at least this version of gcc:

Using built-in specs.

Is there a newer release tag on the ipxe repo that we could build instead,
that would automatically get us these fixes?

No, latest tag (almost two years ago) is 1.0.0, which is the one we
are currently using.

Perhaps we should pick a recent commit hash to clone, then? There's plenty
going on in there development-wise, which would surely have warranted a
release or two; it just looks like they couldn't be arsed to tag releases.
Hanging on to a two-year-old version and building up a backport queue
doesn't make sense. At the very least we should do this in xen-unstable, and
get some testing done of recent ipxe upstream.

That's fine, I agree that we should pick a most recent ipxe version
for unstable, if not things like this are going to happen every now
and then and we will end up with a massive queue of patches. But in
the meantime, is it possible to apply this patch to xen-4.1 and
possibly xen-4.0?

Thanks, Roger.

If it builds and smoke-tests, let's go with the latest. :-)

The main thing is for us to then stick with that revision for a while, so we
are testing a fixed version which we can use in our next release.
