Depending upon the compiler used, IRQ entries could vary in sizes. With GCC 5.x, the code generator will use short jumps for some IRQ entries but near jumps for others. For example, GCC 5.4.0 generates the following:

$ objdump -d interrupt.o <snip> 00000207 <irq_18>: 207: 6a 12 push $0x12 209: eb 85 jmp 190 <irq_common_entry>

0000020b <irq_19>: 20b: 6a 13 push $0x13 20d: eb 81 jmp 190 <irq_common_entry>

0000020f <irq_20>: 20f: 6a 14 push $0x14 211: e9 7a ff ff ff jmp 190 <irq_common_entry>

00000216 <irq_21>: 216: 6a 15 push $0x15 218: e9 73 ff ff ff jmp 190 <irq_common_entry>

This causes a problem in cpu_init_interrupts(), because the IDT setup assumed same sizes for all IRQ entries. GCC 4.x always generated 32-bit jumps, so this previously was not a problem.

The fix is to force 32-bit near jumps for all entries within the inline assembly. This works for GCC 5.x, and 4.x was already using that form of jumping.
