Currently the FSP execution environment GDT is setup by U-Boot in arch/x86/cpu/start16.S, which works pretty well. But if we try to move the FspInitEntry call a little bit later to better fit into U-Boot's initialization sequence, FSP will fail to bring up the AP due to #GP fault as AP's GDT is duplicated from BSP whose GDT is now moved into CAR, and unfortunately FSP calls AP initialization after it disables the CAR. So basically the BSP's GDT still refers to the one in the CAR, whose content is no longer available, so when AP starts up and loads its segment register, it blows up.
To resolve this, we load GDT before calling into FspInitEntry. The GDT is the same one used in arch/x86/cpu/start16.S, which is in the ROM and exists forever.

We have RESET_SEG_START in arch/x86/cpu/config.mk. We could move this to Kconfig if you like? But it would be good to avoid the duplication.

Where does the GDT get set back to the normal U-Boot one?
