[patch 04/28] cpu alloc: i386 support

[-- Attachment #1: cpu_alloc_i386 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2861 bytes --]

Setup a 256 kB area for the cpu areas below the FIXADDR area.

The use of the cpu alloc area is pretty minimal on i386. An 8p system
with no extras uses only ~8kb. So 256kb should be plenty. A configuration
that supports up to 8 processors takes up 2MB of the scarce
virtual address space.
