Subjectpxeboot broken by commit "x86 setup: handle boot loaders which set up the stack incorrectly"

x86 setup: handle boot loaders which set up the stack incorrectly

Apparently some specific versions of LILO enter the kernel with a
stack pointer that doesn't match the rest of the segments. Make our
best attempt at untangling the resulting mess.
