[PATCH] i386: extend bzImage protocol for relocatable protected mode kernel



Extend bzImage protocol to enable bootloaders to load a completely relocatable
bzImage.  Now protected mode component of kernel is also relocatable and a
boot-loader can load the protected mode component at a differnt physical
address than 1MB.  (If kernel was built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE)

Kexec can make use of it to load this kernel at a different physical address
to capture kernel crash dumps.
