H. Peter Anvin b7c6244f13 x86: 32 bits: shrink and align IRQ stubs
Shrink the IRQ stubs on 32 bits down to just over four bytes per (we
fit seven into a 32-byte chunk.)  This shrinks the total icache
consumption of the IRQ stubs down to an even kilobyte, if all of them
are in active use.

The downside is that we end up with a double jump, which could have a
negative effect on some pipelines.  The double jump is always inside
the same cacheline on any modern chips (the exception being
486/Elan/Geode which have only 16-byte cachelines, but are unlikely to
have too many interrupt sources.)

To get the most effect, cache-align the IRQ stubs.
