Detecting BIOS CD device by INT13 "Check Extensions" (AH=42) call does
not work for all BIOSes.
This patch fixes this to allow access to the boot CD.
See also thread "[PATCH] Create floppy emulation boot CD with
grub-mkimage". The "(cd0" patch from Bean is not included here but
should also be applied.

* disk/i386/pc/biosdisk.c: Include <grub/machine/kernel.h>.
(GRUB_MOD_INIT): Make boot CD accessible even if BIOS does not report
INT13 Extensions for grub_boot_drive.
* include/grub/i386/pc/biosdisk.h (GRUB_BIOSDISK_MACHINE_CDROM_START):
Change from 0xe0 to 0x9f to cover more BIOS variants.
* include/grub/i386/pc/kernel.h (grub_boot_drive): Add EXPORT_VAR.
