Subject: i386: make bootsector stub 16-bit-only
From: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The x86 bzImage contains a stub to inform people that it is not possible
any more to run a Linux kernel by catting it to a floppy and then booting
from it. This was meant to be all 16-bit code. The first instruction,
however, ended up as being coded as a 16:32-bit far jump. I assume the
intention was a 16:16-bit far jump.
