Michael Brown 38cd2035ff [librm] Use libflat to enable A20 line on each real-to-protected transition 
Use the shared code in libflat to perform the A20 transitions
automatically on each transition from real to protected mode.  This
allows us to remove all explicit calls to gateA20_set().

The old warnings about avoiding automatically enabling A20 are
essentially redundant; they date back to the time when we would always
start hammering the keyboard controller without first checking to see
if gate A20 was already enabled (which it almost always is).

Michael Brown 24b52ae476 [prefix] Add A20-enabling code in libflat 
iPXE currently insists on residing in an even megabyte.  This imposes
undesirably severe constraints upon our PMM allocation strategy, and
limits our options for mechanisms to access ROMs greater than 64kB in
size.

Add A20 handling code to libflat so that prefixes are able to access
memory even in odd megabytes.

The algorithms and tuning parameters in the new A20 handling code are
based upon a mixture of the existing iPXE A20 code and the A20 code
from the 2.6.32 Linux kernel.
