I think I misunderstood some of your emails.  You consider ADLO just
the loader - I was thinking of ADLO as the loader plus the modified
bochs bios.

The mainline bochs bios is already using some 32bit code, so I don't
think we need a special loader just for that.  Getting the blob into
0xf0000 might require some hardware tricks though (to enable/disable
shadowing).
