Use full protected mode for access to high memory within prefix, to
...
work around limitations in real-mode virtualisation support on Intel
VT-capable chips.

Don't trash the %ecx value returned by relocate(). This was causing
...
us to round down the size for the relocation copy to the nearest 64kB
(+0x10 bytes); this just happened to work on most machines because the
last 64kB of the image is all-zeroes anyway (it's the .bss).

Move .zinfo to libprefix.S; it doesn't belong with the decompression code.

Use a single _payload_offset linker-defined variable to locate the
...
start of the non-prefix blocks in the loaded image, and rely on the
image ordering. This should make introducing compression much easier.

Fix bug that caused over-allocation of .text16 and .data16 memory areas
by a factor of 16.

init_librm() and prot_call() are now real-mode far calls.
...
install() now calls relocate(), moves the protected-mode code to the new
location, and calls hide_etherboot().

Add infrastructure to support access to .data16 (and .text16) variables
...
from protected-mode code.
Set up %ds to point to .data16 in prot_to_real, so that code specified
via REAL_EXEC() and friends can access variables in .data16.
Move most real-mode librm variables from .text16 to .data16.

Create two easy-to-use entry points in libprefix: install and

install_prealloc. I *think* these will suffice for all the 16-bit
prefixes.

This should be much more elegant: we use flat real mode for the

highmem data, so decompress16 will be able to unpack blocks bigger
than 64kB.

Checking in because I don't want to lose this rather neat code for

running the decompresser in 16:16 protected mode using the real-mode
stack. However, there's an even simpler way to do it...
