x86/build: Specify elf_i386 linker emulation explicitly for i386 objects

Browse Source 
The kernel uses the OUTPUT_FORMAT linker script command in it's linker
scripts. Most of the time, the -m option is passed to the linker with
correct architecture, but sometimes (at least for x86_64) the -m option
contradicts the OUTPUT_FORMAT directive.

Specifically, arch/x86/boot and arch/x86/realmode/rm produce i386 object
files, but are linked with the -m elf_x86_64 linker flag when building
for x86_64.

The GNU linker manpage doesn't explicitly state any tie-breakers between
-m and OUTPUT_FORMAT. But with BFD and Gold linkers, OUTPUT_FORMAT
overrides the emulation value specified with the -m option.

LLVM lld has a different behavior, however. When supplied with
contradicting -m and OUTPUT_FORMAT values it fails with the following
error message:

  ld.lld: error: arch/x86/realmode/rm/header.o is incompatible with elf_x86_64

Therefore, just add the correct -m after the incorrect one (it overrides
it), so the linker invocation looks like this:

  ld -m elf_x86_64 -z max-page-size=0x200000 -m elf_i386 --emit-relocs -T \
    realmode.lds header.o trampoline_64.o stack.o reboot.o -o realmode.elf

This is not a functional change for GNU ld, because (although not
explicitly documented) OUTPUT_FORMAT overrides -m EMULATION.

Tested by building x86_64 kernel with GNU gcc/ld toolchain and booting
it in QEMU.
