e165b852de Cleanup warnings. Most of these are signed/unsigned warnings, as well as
some added const's.

95aaaf1f16 Substantially revamp the way that we determine the amount of memory available
for our use.  Use the same search order for BIOS memory size functions
as the kernel will later use.

Allow the loader to use all of the detected physical memory (this will
greatly help people trying to load enormous memory disk images).

More correctly handle running out of memory when loading an object.

Use the end of base memory for the top of the heap, rather than
blindly hoping that there is 384k left.

Add copyrights to a couple of files I forgot.

3a7eff1835 Fix typos.. The vector for "int 0x12" (get base mem) is not written in
hex as "0x1a". :-)
Fix a comment about the extended memory checks, that's int 0x15.

21ca5b8d5a Argh, I don't believe how much time I wasted looking for this...
Bytes of extended memory = (extkb * 1024), not (extkb + 1024)

f0b5ddae6f 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.
