fix linuxboot.bin and multiboot.bin to not hijack int19

Currently linuxboot.bin and multiboot.bin option roms override int19
vector to intercept boot process. No sane option rom should do that.
Provide bev entry instead that will be called by BIOS if option rom...

Fix multiboot compilation

Commit dd4239d6574ca41c94fc0d0f77ddc728510ffc57 broke multiboot. It replaced the
instruction "rep insb (%dx), %es:(%edi)" by the binary output of
"addr32 rep insb (%dx), %es:(%di)".

Linuxboot calls the respective helper function in a code16 section. So the...

linuxboot: fix gdt address calculation

The gdt address calculation in linuxboot.bin is broken in two ways: first
it loads %cs into %eax, but that instruction leaves the high bits of %eax
undefined and we did not clear them. Secondly, we completely ignore the...

Fix thinko in linuxboot.S

Make -kernel for linux work with bochsbios

While trying to run -kernel with -bios pc-bios/pcbios.bin, I realized
that I was actually writing data to %es, but only set up %ds to a 32-bit
segment we want to write to.

So at the end of the day the data hasn't actually been copied. Oops....

Convert linux bootrom to external rom and fw_cfg

We already have a working multiboot implementation that uses fw_cfg to get
its kernel module etc. data in int19 runtime now.

So what's missing is a working linux boot option rom. While at it I figured it
would be a good idea to take the opcode generator out of pc.c and instead use...
