COM32 libutil: Fix error in flags in console_ansi_std(void)
ICANON and ECHO were applied to the control flags not local flags.
If ICANON or ECHO were applied to a serial port on Linux on the x86
architecture, this would change the serial ports baud rate.
From my /usr/include/bits/termios.h (select in-order lines):
/* c_cflag bit meaning */
#define B150 0000005
#define B300 0000007
#define B9600 0000015
#define B38400 0000017
/* c_lflag bits */
#define ICANON 0000002
#define ECHO 0000010
The different baud rates are defined here. If someone set the baud
rate to 9600 and set ICANON on c_cflag, it should change the baud rate
to 38400, dropping communication. Another example is if someone set
the baud rate to 150 the set ICANON and ECHO on c_cflag, it should
change the baud to 38400. If I am interpreting the rest of the file
correctly, a bitmask covering all of the bits used in c_cflag for the
baud rate is 0010017.

Older versions of gcc/binutils apparently really want parentheses
around macro arguments.

SYSLINUX -> Syslinux
Adopt the moniker "The Syslinux Project", ordinary proper noun
capitalization, to refer to the project as a whole. This leaves the
all-caps SYSLINUX to refer to the FAT loader only.

MEMDISK: default to "safeint" mode
There is enough evidence that "safeint" is a decent compromise between
The Right Thing[TM] and dealing with the reality of ultra-broken
DOSen. Make it the default.
Clean up some of the command-line parsing code and status printing.

meminfo: update to deal with ACPI 3 and other braindamage
Add support for ACPI 3 and certain broken e820 implementations in the
meminfo program. Some e820 implementations expect the buffer to
remain the same between different invocations, despite the fact that
there is absolutely no guarantee to that effect in the spec.

e820: pre-initialize buffer
Pre-initialize the e820 buffer to all zero, except for the active bit;
we have found that BIOSes will make assumptions about the pre-existing
value of the buffer and this seems the most conservative value.
