After 17d57a9206 ("x86: fix x86-32 early
fixmap initialization.") removing lg.ko caused a printk from vunmap:
mm/memory.c:115: bad pgd 004b3027.
On the second use after module load, the kernel crashes.
This fixes the immediate problem (accessed and dirty bits not set as
expected in pmd_none_or_clear_bad). I can't see why this would cause
a crash, but I haven't been able to reproduce it once this is applied.

Thanks for the reminder I thought we had fixed this problem a while ago.
Needed to get fixed virtual address for USB debug and earlycon with mmio.

Make <asm/setup.h> usable by the boot code.
Clean up vestiges of the old command-line protocol from setup.h and
head_32.S (it is still supported from the boot loader point of
view, since it is converted to the new command-line protocol by the
boot code.)

This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot.
If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things:
1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the
segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate
for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but
inapproprate for others.
2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate
kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we
simply do the normal boot sequence.

To preserve the DMA pool in CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y kernels, we'll
allocate pagetables from above the 16MB DMA limit, so we'll have to set
up boot pagetables to cover 16MB more RAM (worst-case).
