Increasingly the cobbled together boot protocol that
is bzImage does not have the flexibility to deal
with booting in new situations.
Now that we no longer support the bootsector loader
we have 512 bytes at the very start of a bzImage that
we can use for other things.
Placing an ELF header there allows us to retain
a single binary for all of x86 while at the same
time describing things that bzImage does not allow
us to describe.
The existing bugger off code for warning if we attempt to
boot from the bootsector is kept but the error message is
made more terse so we have a little more room to play with.
