The timestamp code asserts that the _timestamp region (allocated in
memlayout for pre-RAM stages) is large enough for the assumptions it
makes. This is good, except that we often initialize timestamps
extremely early in the bootblock, even before console output. Debugging
a BUG() that hits before console_init() is no fun.
This patch adds a link-time assertion for the size of the _timestamp
region in memlayout to prevent people from accidentally running into
this issue.
