We use signed values for limit checking since the values can go
negative under certain circumstances.  However, sizeof() is unsigned
and forces the comparison to be unsigned, so move the comparison into
the heap_free() macros so we can ensure it is a signed comparison.

The VESA BIOS is specified to be register-clean.  However, we have now
found at least one system which violates that.  Thus, be as paranoid
about VESA calls as about everything else.

Huge thanks to Will Simoneau for reporting, diagnosing, and testing
this out on Dell Inspiron 5150.

Add memory operand constraint and write-only modifier to the inline
assembly to effect the writing of the EDID block to boot_params.edid_info.

Without this, gcc would think the EDID query was dead code and would
eliminate it.

Video mode probing for the new x86 setup code.  This code breaks down
different drivers into modules.  This code deliberately drops support
for a lot of the vendor-specific mode probing present in the assembly
version, since a lot of those probes have been found to be stale in
current versions of those chips -- frequently, support for those modes
have been dropped from recent video BIOSes due to space constraints,
but the video BIOS signatures are still the same.

However, additional drivers should be extremely straightforward to plug
in, if desirable.
