2.5.8-pre1 includes the following patch:

- lcall *%cs:realmode_swtch
+ lcall %cs:realmode_swtch
jmp rmodeswtch_end
The "*" was put there early in the 2.5 series, to allow non-
antique binutils to assemble the code cleanly without warnings.
This patch reintroduces those warnings. Uncool.

GAR!, my bad. Most of the silly bits seem to stem from early 2.5
merges, hopefully there's not too many more sillies.
