Hi Linus,
One more batch of x86setup bug fixes. Of these, one is a manifest bug
(EDID query failure), one is a non-manifest bug, and one is
documentation (Grub < 0.93 buggy.)

[x86 setup] Document grub < 0.93 as broken
Grub older than 0.93 are broken when the kernel setup is bigger than
8K. This was fixed in 2002, and 0.93 was the first grub version which
fixed this bug.

[x86 setup] EDD: add missing =m constraint
Add a missing =m constraint to the EDD-probing code, that could have
caused improper dead-code elimination.

[x86 setup] video setup: Fix VBE DDC reading
Add memory operand constraint and write-only modifier to the inline
assembly to effect the writing of the EDID block to boot_params.edid_info.
Without this, gcc would think the EDID query was dead code and would
eliminate it.
