If there is anyone left out there whose version of HIMEM[64] reports using the KBC or 
KBC-2 method (displayed at startup), please let me know if you can re-test under a 
HIMEM code modification.

A user had an old 386 machine which was incompatible with HIMEM[64]'s current KBC 
method.  I had to regress and modify the KBC routine to get HIMEM to work with his 
386.  However, since previous HIMEM testers also tested the KBC routine to get it 
working for them, I need to check with them as well.

This change does NOT affect the fast, PS2, and BIOS methods of A20 detection found in 
relatively modern machines, so we don't have to worry about re-doing that mess all 
over again.  This is just for those using KBC or KBC-2, most likely on an older style 
machine.

Worse case scenario, we'll have to add a command line parameter to choose which KBC 
version gets used for those that need it, but I'd really, really, like to avoid that 
sort of thing.
