75b9f69057 fix linuxboot.bin and multiboot.bin to not hijack int19
Currently linuxboot.bin and multiboot.bin option roms override int19
vector to intercept boot process. No sane option rom should do that.
Provide bev entry instead that will be called by BIOS if option rom
is selected for booting.

590bf491a4 Fix multiboot compilation
Commit dd4239d657 broke multiboot. It replaced the
instruction "rep insb (%dx), %es:(%edi)" by the binary output of
"addr32 rep insb (%dx), %es:(%di)".

Linuxboot calls the respective helper function in a code16 section. So the
original instruction was automatically translated to its "addr32" equivalent.
For multiboot, we're running in code32 so gcc didn't add the "addr32" which
breaks the instruction.

This patch splits that helper function in one which uses addr32 and one which
does not, so everyone's happy.

The good news is that nobody probably cared so far. The bundled multiboot.bin
binary was built before the change and is thus correct.

Please also put this patch into -stable.

dd4239d657 Allow build of linuxboot.S with old assemblers
In the spirit of ff56954baf, fix the
build of linuxboot.S with old as(1) (as found in some BSD base systems)
by emitting the bytes of the insn it doesn't like instead.

dd4b2659cd Move common option rom code to header file
We will have a linux boot option rom soon, so let's take all functionality
that might be useful for both to a header file that both roms can include.

That way we only have to write fw_cfg access code once.
