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)!
