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

commit 6b6815c6d5d1dc209701d1661a7a0e09a295db2f

    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.
