Thanks for tracking this down, Matthew.  It's annoying that flat real mode 
seems to cause problems in some hypervisors, even though it works on real 
hardware.

I can't just revert this change, since some later commits (e.g. "[romprefix] 
Add .mrom format") depend upon it.  I'll rework it to use some form of 
protected mode instead.
