While testing a non-Linux 32 bit PVH "kernel" (it's really just a
bunch of test code), I ran into some problems with the current PVH
loader in QEMU, which seems to work somewhat by accident for 32 bit
kernels today, having been fortunate in the layout of the object files
it typically encounters.

Non-PAE 32 bit Linux kernels still don't appear to work even with this
change, but I think that problem is somewhere else (the kernel is
loaded and starts, but the VM resets when it attempts to enable PG/PE)
and I haven't tracked it down yet.

Queued, thanks.
