2017-06-05x86/boot: Remove unused copy_*_gs() functionsJiri Slaby
copy_from_gs() and copy_to_gs() are unused in the boot code. They have actually never been used -- they were always commented out since their addition in 2007: 5be865661516 ("String-handling functions for the new x86 setup code.") So remove them -- they can be restored from history if needed.

2014-01-04x86, boot: Use .code16 instead of .code16gccDavid Woodhouse
This reverts commit 28b48688 ("x86, boot: use .code16gcc instead of .code16"). Versions of binutils older than 2.16 are already not working, so this workaround is no longer necessary either. At the same time, some of the transformations that .code16gcc does can be *extremely* counterintuitive to a human programmer.
