drochner 2092d92ef2 New, optional, method to get size of extended memory.
It will be used for getextmem() if EXTENDED_MEMDETECT is defined.
Worked on all tested machines.
Thanks to all testers, especially Martin Husemann!

drochner a0d9d3bc54 Allow to boot from DOS if a XMS manager is installed.
XMS is recognized and used as temporary buffer for the kernel image.
The processor must still be in real mode at program start, so EMM386
or QEMM are not allowed. W*95 is OK.
Written by Martin Husemann (pr port-i386/3336).
Completely separated from other bootloaders for sanity.

perry 20b87fc0c9 1) Make carriage return start boot immediately.
2) Make "quit" reboot machine. This works by adding a reboot assembler
   hook that calls INT 19h

perry 816bb96145 Initial import of new boot code, created by Matthias Drochner with a
little hacking by me. This isn't strictly identical to his 920312
release -- I've hacked it a bit -- but since we are taking over change
control it doesn't matter much.
