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
original instruction was automatically translated to its "addr32" equivalent.
For multiboot, we're running in code32 so gcc didn't add the "addr32" which
breaks the instruction.
This patch splits that helper function in one which uses addr32 and one which
does not, so everyone's happy.
The good news is that nobody probably cared so far. The bundled multiboot.bin
binary was built before the change and is thus correct.
Please also put this patch into -stable.

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
incorrect %eax, and use the undefined %ebx instead.
With these issues fixed, linuxboot works again.

The %gs segment that was used was not matching the comments.
I just moved the GDT descriptor on the stack instead.

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)!

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!
