897313007b Add __{text,data}16_array, since there's no way I can see to make the
usual __{text,data}16 trick work with arrays.  gcc seems to accept the
__asm__ ( asmlabel ) only after the [] of the array declaration, not
before.

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).

f7b963da51 (Redoing check-in lost by SourceForge's failure.)
Use .text16.data section with "aw" attributes, to avoid section type
conflicts when placing both code and data into .text16.

Add __from_{text16,data16}.

f8e087767b Allow access to variables in .text16 as well as .data16. Chained
interrupt vectors, for example, will be easiest to handle if placed in
.text16.

f4429533a6 Added methods for efficiently declaring and accessing variables in
.data16.  librm will need to supply "char *data16", i.e. the virtual
address of the start of .data16.

9e1dd6402d <name>_size variable is no longer needed, since we don't copy the code.
However, it's worth adding a .size directive so that objdump reports the
correct sizes for the code fragments.

9fcded3d23 Towards a(nother) new real-mode infrastructure, in which we take
advantage of the fact that we have to have a permanently-resident block
in base memory.
