  Modified files:
    sys/boot/i386/libi386 biosmem.c bootinfo.c i386_copy.c 
                          libi386.h time.c 
    sys/boot/i386/loader main.c 
  Log:
  Substantially revamp the way that we determine the amount of memory available
  for our use.  Use the same search order for BIOS memory size functions
  as the kernel will later use.
  
  Allow the loader to use all of the detected physical memory (this will
  greatly help people trying to load enormous memory disk images).
  
  More correctly handle running out of memory when loading an object.
  
  Use the end of base memory for the top of the heap, rather than
  blindly hoping that there is 384k left.
  
  Add copyrights to a couple of files I forgot.
