<content type='text'>
Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:

	fs movl 0, %eax

This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches

NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

--
Changes for v2:
 - Rebased against changes made to patch #3
 - Removed extra indent
 - Tweaked commit message

Allow redirection of console output prior to console initialisation to a
temporary buffer.

To enable this functionality, the board (or arch) must define:
 - CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER - Enable pre-console buffer
 - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR - Base address of pre-console buffer
 - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ - Size of pre-console buffer (in bytes)

The pre-console buffer will buffer the last CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes
Any earlier characters are silently dropped.
