c9e5b12473 [i386] Add explicit flags and type on all .section declarations
Try to avoid future problems caused by implicit section flags and/or
type information by instituting a policy that all .section
declarations must explicitly state the flags and type.

Most of this change was achieved using

    perl -pi \
      -e 's/".text"$/".text", "ax", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".text16"$/".text16", "ax", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".text16.null"$/".text16.null", "ax", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".text16.data"$/".text16.data", "aw", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".data"$/".data", "aw", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".data16"$/".data16", "aw", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".bss"$/".bss", "aw", \@nobits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".bss16"$/".bss16", "aw", \@nobits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".prefix"$/".prefix", "ax", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".prefix.lib"$/".prefix.lib", "awx", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".prefix.data"$/".prefix.data", "aw", \@progbits/ ; ' \
      -e 's/".weak"$/".weak", "a", \@nobits/ ; ' \
      `git grep -l '\.section'`

0a8a17e669 [i386] Free allocated base memory on exit, if possible
Code paths that automatically allocate memory from the FBMS at 40:13
should also free it, if possible.

Freeing this memory will not be possible if either

  1. The FBMS has been modified since our allocation, or

  2. We have not been able to unhook one or more BIOS interrupt vectors.

04f3206581 [build] Fix building on Ubuntu 8.04
Not fully understood, but it seems that the LMA of bss sections matters
for some newer binutils builds.  Force all bss sections to have an LMA
at the end of the file, so that they don't interfere with other
sections.

The symptom was that objcopy -O binary -j .zinfo would extract the
.zinfo section from bin/xxx.tmp as a blob of the correct length, but
with zero contents.  This would then cause the [ZBIN] stage of the
build to fail.

Also explicitly state that .zinfo(.*) sections have @progbits, in case
some future assembler or linker variant decides to omit them.

13d09e6719 [i386] Simplify linker script and standardise linker-defined symbol names
Reduce the number of sections within the linker script to match the
number of practical sections within the output file.

Define _section, _msection, _esection, _section_filesz, _section_memsz,
and _section_lma for each section, replacing the mixture of symbols that
previously existed.

In particular, replace _text and _end with _textdata and _etextdata, to
make it explicit within code that uses these symbols that the .text and
.data sections are always treated as a single contiguous block.
