x86/asm/irq: Stop relying on magic JMP behavior for early_idt_handlers
The early_idt_handlers asm code generates an array of entry points spaced nine bytes apart. It's not really clear from that code or from the places that reference it what's going on, and the code only works in the first place because GAS never generates two-byte JMP instructions when jumping to global labels. Clean up the code to generate the correct array stride (member size) explicitly. This should be considerably more robust against screw-ups, as GAS will warn if a .fill directive has a negative count. Using '. =' to advance would have been even more robust (it would generate an actual error if it tried to move backwards), but it would pad with nulls, confusing anyone who tries to disassemble the code. The new scheme should be much clearer to future readers. While we're at it, improve the comments and rename the array and common code. Binutils may start relaxing jumps to non-weak labels. If so, this change will fix our build, and we may need to backport this change.
