x86/boot: Fix overflow warning with 32-bit binutils

Browse source

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.
