Subject: [PATCH 6/20] 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.
