When the BIOS doesn't support BBS, hooking INT 19 is the only way to add
ourselves as a boot device. If we have to do this, we should at least
try to chain to the original INT 19 vector if our boot fails.
Idea suggested by Andrew Schran <aschran@google.com>
call print_message
xorw %ax, %ax
movw %ax, %es
+ pushl %es:( 0x19 * 4 )
+ popl orig_int19
pushw %cs
pushw $int19_entry
popl %es:( 0x19 * 4 )
/* INT19 entry point

- * Called via the hooked INT 19 if we detected a non-PnP BIOS.
