Currently in head_32.S there are two ways we test to see if we
are the boot cpu. By looking at %ebx and by looking at the
static variable ready. When changing things around I have
found that it gets tricky to preserve %ebx. So this
patch just switches head.S over to the more reliable
test of always using ready.
Hopefully later we can kill these tests entirely.
