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...

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...
