    x86/boot: move some __high_start code and data into init sections
    
    Half of __high_start is strictly for the BSP and will only be run once on
    boot.  To complement 'start_secondary', create 'start_bsp' and move it into
    the init.text section.
    
    The interrupt handler 'ignore_int' is patched into the BSPs IDT, but fully
    replaced with real handlers early during boot.  The BSPs IDT is used by APs
    until midway through start_secondary, but after the real handlers have been
    installed.  Therefore, 'ignore_int' can move to init.text.  Furthermore, its
    strings can move to init.rodata.
