a39b111684 Automatically select between the "10" and "16" variants of command set,
based on the device size.

3bd7e479a2 Catch SCSI errors, and work around the start-of-day CHECK CONDITION
that some targets send.

402ba15c64 READ CAPACITY (16) turns out to be an optional command (even though
READ(16) is mandatory); we must use READ CAPACITY (10) first and then
use READ CAPACITY (16) if the READ CAPACITY (10) returns "out of range".

d48d0fb1bb Add the concept of a "user pointer" (similar to the void __user * in
the kernel), which encapsulates the information needed to refer to an
external buffer.  Under normal operation, this can just be a void *
equivalent, but under -DKEEP_IT_REAL it would be a segoff_t equivalent.

Use this concept to avoid the need for bounce buffers in int13.c,
which reduces memory usage and opens up the possibility of using
multi-sector reads.

Extend the block-device API and the SCSI block device implementation
to support multi-sector reads.

Update iscsi.c to use user buffers.

Move the obsolete portions of realmode.h to old_realmode.h.

MS-DOS now boots an order of magnitude faster over iSCSI (~10 seconds
from power-up to C:> prompt in bochs).
