Dusting off ooooold knowledge of x86 and without even a glance at x86
u-boot... Since GD is the only global used pre-reloc, can you not ensure
it always ends up first in the data segment, and then manage two values
for the DS segment reg, one pre-reloc where only gd can be used, and one
post-reloc where gd and all the other globals can be accessed?
