x86/boot: Fix overflow warning with 32-bit binutils
commit 04c17341b42699a5859a8afa05e64ba08a4e5235 upstream. When building the kernel with 32-bit binutils built with support only for the i386 target, we get the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:66: Warning: shift count out of range (32 is not between 0 and 31) The problem is that in that case, binutils' internal type representation is 32-bit wide and the shift range overflows. In order to fix this, manipulate the shift expression which creates the 4GiB constant to not overflow the shift count.
