Loading of binary images which include a quasi-Multi-boot Spec record is
supported by Xen, but currently there not a way
to inform the loader of the PAE requirements/capabilities of the
loading image.  This patch extends the flags used in the
quasi-Multi-boot Spec record to this include information, and to
process that information.  It also attempts to provide a
way to specify that the binary image is a 64 bit kernel, but that was
an afterthought in this patch, so there could be things
I'm missing there.
