x86: find a better location for the real-mode trampoline
On some machines, the location at 0x40e does not point to the beginning of the EBDA. Rather, it points to the beginning of the BIOS-reserved area of the EBDA, while the option ROMs place their data below that segment. For this reason, 0x413 is actually a better source than 0x40e to get the location of the real-mode trampoline. Xen was already using it as a second source, and this patch keeps that working. However, just in case, let's also fetch the information from the multiboot structure, where the boot loader should have placed it. This way we don't necessarily trust one of the BIOS or the multiboot loader more than the other. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Retain the previous code, thus using the multiboot value only if it's sane but lower than the BDA computed one. Also use the full 32-bit mem_lower value and prefer MBI_MEMLIMITS over open coding it (requiring a slight adjustment to multiboot.h to make its constants actually usable in assembly code, which previously they were only meant to be).
