Minimum version of binutils required to compile the kernel is 2.25.
This version correctly handles the "rep" prefixes, so it is possible
to remove the semicolon, which was used to support ancient versions
of GNU as.
Due to the semicolon, the compiler considers "rep; insn" (or its
alternate "rep\n\tinsn" form) as two separate instructions. Removing
the semicolon makes asm length calculations more accurate, consequently
making scheduling and inlining decisions of the compiler more accurate.
Removing the semicolon also enables assembler checks involving "rep"
prefixes. Trying to assemble e.g. "rep addl %eax, %ebx" results in:
Error: invalid instruction `add' after `rep'

GLOBAL is an x86's custom macro and is going to die very soon. It was
meant for global symbols, but here, it was used for functions. Instead,
use the new macros SYM_FUNC_START* and SYM_CODE_START* (depending on the
type of the function) which are dedicated to global functions. And since
they both require a closing by SYM_*_END, do that here too.
startup_64, which does not use GLOBAL but uses .globl explicitly, is
converted too.
"No alignments" are preserved.

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.

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.
