The previous multiboot load code did not treat the case where
load_end_addr was 0 specially.  The multiboot specification says the
following:
 * load_end_addr
   Contains the physical address of the end of the data segment.
   (load_end_addr - load_addr) specifies how much data to load. This
   implies that the text and data segments must be consecutive in the
   OS image; this is true for existing a.out executable formats. If
   this field is zero, the boot loader assumes that the text and data
   segments occupy the whole OS image file.

Anthony, what happened with this patch? Can we still get it into 1.1?

It wasn't top posted so it got lost.

Yeah, I'll queue it.
