[PATCH 1/1] x86: lib: fix link error for legacy (non-EFI) boot

The mbr and barebox memory regions defined in the linker script overlap,
which leads recent linkers to complain loudly and abort the build:

	ld: section .bootstrapping VMA [0000000000007e00,000000000000841f]
	overlaps section .bootsector VMA [0000000000007c00,0000000000007fff]

Correcting the region boundaries fixes the error. barebox can still not
boot completely, boot it at least build and shows early debug output.
