The gdt address calculation in linuxboot.bin is broken in two ways: first
it loads %cs into %eax, but that instruction leaves the high bits of %eax
undefined and we did not clear them.  Secondly, we completely ignore the
incorrect %eax, and use the undefined %ebx instead.

With these issues fixed, linuxboot works again.

Wow, I wonder how it worked for me...
