    bootstate: use structure pointers for scheduling callbacks
    
    The GCC 4.9.2 update showed that the boot_state_init_entry
    structures were being padded and assumed to be aligned in to an
    increased size. The bootstate scheduler for static entries,
    boot_state_schedule_static_entries(), was then calculating the
    wrong values within the array. To fix this just use a pointer to
    the boot_state_init_entry structure that needs to be scheduled.
    
    In addition to the previous issue noted above, the .bs_init
    section was sitting in the read only portion of the image while
    the fields within it need to be writable. Also, the
    boot_state_schedule_static_entries() was using symbol comparison
    to terminate a loop which in C can lead the compiler to always
    evaluate the loop at least once since the language spec indicates
    no 2 symbols can be the same value.
