Alexander Graf dc61b0dc5a 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.

So here's a fix to set ES instead of DS, which makes -kernel work with
BOCHS bios again (and actually makes the code do the correct thing)!

Alexander Graf 57a46d0579 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
a proper option rom, like we do with multiboot.

So here it is - an fw_cfg using option rom for -kernel with linux!
