x86_32: remove unnecessary use of %ebx as the boot cpu flag
Currently in head_32.S there are two ways we test to see if we are the boot cpu. By looking at %ebx and by looking at the static variable ready. When changing things around I have found that it gets tricky to preserve %ebx. So this patch just switches head.S over to the more reliable test of always using ready. Hopefully later we can kill these tests entirely. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ijc@hellion.org.uk> Cc: H.
