The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without
taking account of either whitespace, null-termination, the old
command-line protocol, late overrides early, or the fact that the
command line may not be reachable from INITSEG.
This should fix those problems, and enable us to use a longer command
line.

Some BIOSes do not always set CF on error before return from int13. The
patch adds additional check for status being zero (AH == 0).

Remove some of the unnecessary differences between arch/i386 and
arch/x86_64. This patch fixes more whitespace issues, some miscellaneous
typos, a wrong URL and a factually incorrect statement about the current
boot sector code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
