Comments appreciated. The state of the A20 Gate is still shared between ioport 0x92 and outport of the keyboard controller, but all other bits are ignored. They might be used in the future to emulate e.g. hdd led activity or other usage of ioport 0x92. I have tested the attached patch. memtest works again as expected. I think it crashed because it uses ioport 0x92 directly to enable the a20 gate.
