Attached.

It's pretty simple and short and untested :-)

Hm. Why is olen an unsigned long when reallen is u32?

If cs, ds, es, fs are all 16bit, then dses and gsfs should be explicitly
32bit and not long. That would fix compile warnings as well. I
understand that biosint is x86emu code, though.

Nice refactoring.

Fixed. I got rid of olen, this was its only use.

We need to clean up the other parts of the code, make things u32 and
u16, I am going to hold off until we do that.

Well, we got MUCH further, but it did not work.

Phase 2: Done.

I think VSA ran. I don't like those BIOSINT #0x18 -- I am guessing
that something did not work out. But note that the VSA2 VR signature
was there .

AND -- we found config type one. There the good news ends. Phase 2:
done comes out, which is wrong, as we should have more output, and
then ...
LinuxBIOS-3.0.0 Fri Jan 25 19:36:21 PST 2008 starting...

we restart.

Damn. So close.
