The linux trampoline was modifying the existing GDT
to add the 0x10 and 0x18 descriptors for Linux.
This will not work when the existing GDT is in ROM.
Change the code to set up a new GDT in what we know to be
RAM.
Tested by booting a linux payload. The main reason this works
is that Linux almost immediately loads its own GDT and then
segment registers. This GDT is a very temporary bridge.
Note that none of this change used to be necessary; the coreboot
GDT was originally compatible with Linux (ca 2000);
then Linux changed.

Add the code necessary to create the linux trampoline blob.
Don't enforce this for the in-coreboot build or use objcopy
to produce linux_trampoline.o as it is a bit trickier to get
all the details right than I had hoped:
- you have to know the elf architecture of the host machine
- you might have to have more tools (xxd, perl, etc) installed
