Revert lguest magic and use hook in head.S
Version 2.07 of the boot protocol uses 0x23C for the hardware_subarch field, that for lguest is "1". This allows us to use the standard boot entry point rather than the "GenuineLguest" string hack. The standard entry point also clears the BSS and copies the boot parameters and commandline for us, saving more code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
