A number of items in the i386 boot documentation have been either
vague, outdated or hard to read. This text revision adds several more
examples, including a memory map for a modern kernel load. It also
adds a field-by-field detailed description of the setup header, and a
bootloader ID for Qemu.

This patch allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and
updates the FB layer to use it. This makes debugging new console drivers
