This is getting extremely unwieldy and we need to get it broken up a bit.

I would really like to get the boot protocol changes earlier in the
series, because it has interactions with work other people are doing and
may need additional surgery. That is, the additions of flags and fields
to make it possible for the kernel to indicate that > 4 GB booting is
possible, not the actual implementation thereof. This split between
protocol changes and implementation will also be useful for bisection.
