As part of getting native LinuxBIOS support into the Linux kernel,
and as part of building standards so that bootloaders can really
support multiple OS's, I have modified the linux build and a little
of the code so that vmlinux is natively ELF bootable.  So neither
mknbi nor my mkelfImage is needed...

I have yet to include support for LinuxBIOS but that is straight
forward.  And with this approach I preserve the very useful property of
having a kernel that can boot both with and without LinuxBIOS.

Anyway for people who want to play with it the patch is at:
