[librm] Add support for installing a startup IPI handler
Application processors are started via INIT and SIPI interprocessor interrupts: the INIT places the processor into a "wait for SIPI" state, and the SIPI then starts the processor in real mode at a page-aligned address derived from the SIPI vector number. Add support for installing a real-mode SIPI handler that will switch the CPU into protected mode with flat physical addressing, load initial register contents, and then jump to the address of a protected-mode SIPI handler. No stack pointer is set up, to avoid the need to allocate stack space for each available processor. We use 32-bit physical addressing in order to minimise the changes required for a 64-bit build. The existing long mode transition code relies on the existence of the stack, so we cannot easily switch the application processor into long mode. We could use 32-bit virtual addressing, but this runtime environment does not currently exist outside of librm.S itself in a 64-bit build, and using it would complicate the implementation of the protected-mode SIPI handler.
