[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/4] x86: Ensure no instruction sets of MMX/SSE are generated in 64-bit build

[Bin Meng]

With the '-march=core2' fix, it seems that we have some luck that
the 64-bit U-Boot boots again. However if we examine the disassembly
codes there are still SSE instructions elsewhere which means passing
cpu type to GCC is not enough to prevent it from generating these
instructions. A simple test case is doing a 'bootefi selftest' from
the U-Boot shell and it leads to a reset too.

The 'bootefi selftest' reset is even seen with the image created by
the relative older GCC 5.4.0, the one shipped by Ubuntu 16.04.

To make sure no MMX/SSE instruction sets are generated, tell GCC not
to do this. Note AVX is out of the question as CORE2 is old enough
to support AVX yet.
