6554b79ff9 [uaccess] Formalise the uaccess API
The userptr_t is now the fundamental type that gets used for conversions.
For example, virt_to_phys() is implemented in terms of virt_to_user() and
user_to_phys().

bb41ec385c [int13] Pairwise swap drive numbers, instead of shifting all drive numbers
Shifting all INT13 drive numbers causes problems on systems that use a
sparse drive number space (e.g. qemu BIOS, which uses 0xe0 for the CD-ROM
drive).

The strategy now is:

  Each drive is assigned a "natural" drive number, being the next
  available drive number in the system (based on the BIOS drive count).

  Each drive is accessed using its specified drive number.  If the
  specified drive number is -1, the natural drive number will be used.

  Accesses to the specified drive number will be delivered to the
  emulated drive, masking out any preexisting drive using this number.

  Accesses to the natural drive number, if different, will be remapped to
  the masked-out drive.

The overall upshot is that, for examples:

  System has no drives.  Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x80
  and specified number 0x80.  Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
  drive, and there is no remapping.

  System has one drive.  Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x81
  and specified number 0x80.  Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
  drive.  Accesses to drive 0x81 get remapped to the original drive 0x80.

5a54225aef Added support for INT 13,15; NTLDR calls it (though it may not
actually do anything with the result, since it carried on using us
even when we returned failure).

295e11b2b0 Add INT 13,41 (extensions installation check). LILO's MBR now uses
linear calls to load the MS-DOS boot sector in my test setup.

d2c22ec9bb Add INT 13 emulation layer (which provides an interface to gPXE block
devices).
