[syslinux] Memdisk - handle arbitrary start addresses
To support AndyTim's work on El Torito Memdisk, I just checked in a change that lets Memdisk load a bootstrap at (almost) any address. In particular, after allocating memory for the hooks near the top of the memory it relocates the transient real-mode code to just below the hooks, so that it can continue to work but is out of the way of any fixed address anyone might want to put into low memory. -hpa -- H.
