mini-os: work around ld bug causing stupid CTOR count
I'm seeing pvgrub crashing when running CTORs. It appears its because
the magic in the linker script is generating junk. If I get ld to
output a map, I see:
.ctors 0x0000000000097000 0x18
0x0000000000097000 __CTOR_LIST__ = .
0x0000000000097000 0x4 LONG 0x25c04
(((__CTOR_END__ - __CTOR_LIST__) / 0x4) - 0x2)
*(.ctors)
.ctors 0x0000000000097004 0x10
/home/jeremy/hg/xen/unstable/stubdom/mini-os-x86_32-grub/mini-os.o
0x0000000000097014 0x4 LONG 0x0
0x0000000000097018 __CTOR_END__ = .
In other words, somehow ((0x97018-0x97000) / 4) - 2 = 0x25c04
The specific crash is that the ctor loop tries to call the NULL
sentinel. I'm seeing the same with the DTOR list.
Avoid this by terminating the loop with the NULL sentinel, and get rid
of the CTOR count entirely.
