    x86/boot: Extract error reporting functions · dc425a6e

    Currently to use warn(), a caller would need to include misc.h. However,
    this means they would get the (unavailable during compressed boot)
    gcc built-in memcpy family of functions. But since string.c is defining
    these memcpy functions for use by misc.c, we end up in a weird circular
    dependency.
    
    To break this loop, move the error reporting functions outside of misc.c
    with their own header so that they can be independently included by
    other sources. Since the screen-writing routines use memmove(), keep the
    low-level *_putstr() functions in misc.c.
