Better patch.
I've noticed that this code sets esi but then reference using si... So fixed to use esi (It worked so far since we are in low area... But I think using the same
register type is cleaner...)

Totally pointless since we're in 16-bit mode (as is the "incl %esi")... 
I guess it's "better" in the sense that if we run out of that we'll 
crash due to a segment overrun... maybe (some BIOSes leave us 
unknowningly in big real mode...)
