The early startup code is in arch/x86/cpu/start.S or start16.S depending on the state of the CPU when u-boot is entered, and this code is called back into at various points during startup. You can see that those callbacks stubbed out where there's a label and then a jump back immediately after it, for instance here:
+board_init16: + jmp board_init16_ret
I have no problem merging the commits, but I'll wait for Graeme to weigh in since it's a little easier to merge them than to unmerge them.

i'm not terribly familiar with what it takes to make an x86 board, but i don't see anything jumping out of this patch.
i would note however that you should merge the boards.cfg update into this patch. merging one or the other doesn't make much sense, and there's no reason to keep them split.
