[PATCH] x86: Work around gcc 4.2 over aggressive optimizer

The new PDA code uses a dummy _proxy_pda variable to describe
memory references to the PDA. It is never referenced
in inline assembly, but exists as input/output arguments.
gcc 4.2 in some cases can CSE references to this which causes
unresolved symbols.  Define it to zero to avoid this.
