948486abe3 Initial integration of the i386 bootloader and BTX.
- Discard large amounts of BIOS-related code in favour of the more compact
   BTX vm86 interface.
 - Build the loader module as ELF, although the resulting object is a.out,
   make gensetdefs 32/64-bit sensitive and use a single copy of it.
 - Throw away installboot, as it's no longer required.
 - Use direct bcopy operations in the i386_copy module, as BTX
   maps the first 16M of memory.  Check operations against the
   detected size of actual memory.

aa7af79537 BTX (aka the boot extender) is an i386 kernel that hosts 32-bit
bootstrap programs, and provides page-level protection, hardware
interrupt reflection, a virtual-8086 mode interface to BIOS, etc.
