This fixes boot for memtest86+ (and actually, Linux zImages since they were
all affected).
The problem was that the first code in grub_linux_boot_zimage copied the
payload from 0x100000 to 0x10000. Since GRUB starts at 0x8200 and is
typicaly more than 8 kiB in size, it'll most likely overwrite part of it.
A bit of reestructuring was necessary to allow grub_dl_unload_all() to happen
unconditionally as first step, since the information on whether this is a
"big linux" was not promptly available.
Comments?
