Subject: [PATCH 21/33] x86_64: modify copy_bootdata to use virtual addresses

Use virtual addresses instead of physical addresses
in copy bootdata.  In addition fix the implementation
of the old bootloader convention.  Everything is
at real_mode_data always.  It is just that sometimes
real_mode_data was relocated by setup.S to not sit at
0x90000.
