Re: multiboot on EFI

[phcoder]

Try with 2030. Actually it's diffed against 2030+some of my posted and 
unposted patches. If it still doesn't apply please report I'll update 
and rediff it against HEAD.
I'm interested in behaviour of this code on real EFI however doesn't 
expect this version to be able to work completely.
x86_64-efi isn't supported by this patch yet
Also if xen uses any bios interrupts it will probably triple fault. On 
IRC we discussed a possibility of loading seabios and it's probably 
feasible but will take more time
