Hello. Now I noticed that the helper are still necessary when booting
i386 kernel on efi-x86_64. I would like this code to be uniform accross
i386 branches so please don't commit this patch it will be soon
superseed by my next work

Hello. Asm helper functions for bsd aren't really needed. Actually BSD
entry point may be called directly as cdecl function. With this
approach theese helper functions don't take place in kernel anymore.
Tested with freebsd, openbsd and netbsd. However my tests were limited
to launching kernel and see if it complains about not being able to
mount root. Can someone test it with complete system?
Thanks
