shuffler: work around KVM problem with the new shuffler
KVM uses V86 mode to simulate real mode. This causes problems with
the new shuffler. This changes the shuffler handover to be in
16-bit protected mode instead, and requires the stub to do the actual
entry to real mode. For the KVM hack to work, all segments must have:
(seg.base & 0xfff0000f) == 0 && seg.limit == 0xffff
As a result, we have to make sure the real-mode entry stub is
paragraph-aligned, lest we violate the first criterion.

linux.c32: make load_linux() support relocation
In the case where the preferred kernel locations are not available,
make load_linux() smart enough to be able to relocate the kernel if at
all possible.

com32: make memory beyond the core HighMem available to malloc
Impact: should deal with memory holes more gracefully
Right now, if we find a memory hole, we simply don't use the memory
beyond that point. This makes it possible for com32 modules to
use that memory. After this, we should be able to add relocation
support to allow loading when the memory at 1 MB is unavailable.

shuffler: zero-extend the proper register for shuffle list length
The shuffle list length needs to be passed into the shuffler in ECX,

needs to be zero-extended. Zero-extend the proper register, please!
