Alexander Graf 57a46d0579 Convert linux bootrom to external rom and fw_cfg
We already have a working multiboot implementation that uses fw_cfg to get
its kernel module etc. data in int19 runtime now.

So what's missing is a working linux boot option rom. While at it I figured it
would be a good idea to take the opcode generator out of pc.c and instead use
a proper option rom, like we do with multiboot.

So here it is - an fw_cfg using option rom for -kernel with linux!

Alexander Graf 77873196f3 Convert multiboot to fw_cfg backed data storage
Right now we load the guest kernel to RAM, fire off the BIOS, hope it
doesn't clobber memory and run an option rom that jumps into the kernel.

That breaks with SeaBIOS, as that clears memory. So let's read all
kernel, module etc. data using the fw_cfg interface when in the int19
handler.

This patch implements said mechanism for multiboot.

Anthony Liguori c227f0995e Revert "Get rid of _t suffix"
In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.

The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem.  Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.

This reverts commit 99a0949b72.
