This seems to be missing code for hasbrokenint12 case.  Untested fix
(with related and unrelated style changes):

This mainly moves the r/w mapping for page 0 earlier and rewrites
related comments (but not the big one about the first part of remapping
biosbasemem through ISA_HOLE_START that most needs rewriting).  The
mapping of page 0 has nothing to do with basemem unless basemem == 0
in which case we probably crashed already.

Unfinished related details:
- Why do we make page 0 and the pages between biosmem and ISA_HOLE_START
  writeable in 2 maps?
- Which parts of vm86 and/or BIOSes need to write these pages?
- I think the non-FreeBSD part of vm86 needs to access (write?) page 0
  in the vm86 map, so we must be mapping it there somewhere else.  If
  so, why do we handle it different to the other BIOS pages.
- Page 0 will need to be writeable in cpu_reset_real(), so the comment
  which says that writeability is for vm86 will be incomplete.  However,
  r/w mapping could easily be delayed until it is needed in all cases.
- ISA_HOLE_START / PAGE_SIZE is sometimes hard-coded as 160.
- other points mentioned in comments.
