mini-os: use -m elf_i386 for final linking
Using the standard -m elf_x86_64 for 64-bit mini-os results in the
first section (.text) to start only at offset 2MB in the binary file.
Quoting Andrew Cooper on that topic:
Specifically, 64bit emulation appears to include "align primary
sections to 2M so your OS can make better use of superpages even when
mmap()ing", with no way I can spot to override this in the linker
file.
Using -m elf_i386 avoids that problem without any visible disadvantage.
