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.

 - Conditionalise ISA PnP support.
 - Simplify PnP enumerator interface.
 - Improve module/object searching.
 - Add missing depend/install targets in BTX makefiles.
 - Pass the kernel environment and module data in extended bootinfo fields.
 - Add a pointer to the end of the kernel + modules in bootinfo.
 - Fix parsing of old-style kernel arguments.

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.
