    x86, oprom: ensure DF is always cleared
    
    The Option ROM might mess with the EFLAGS register and break assumptions
    the C part of coreboot implicitly has, e.g. the state of the direction
    flag.
    
    Prevent Option ROMs from confusing coreboot by restoring the old EFLAGS
    value after the Option ROMs has finished and always clear the direction
    flag before calling the C part of the interrupt handler.
