 Hi Michael,

 Here's my result:

 24b52ae47655109de38d8a40f91efb21aed788ef is the first bad commit

     [prefix] Add A20-enabling code in libflat
 
     iPXE currently insists on residing in an even megabyte.  This 
 imposes
     undesirably severe constraints upon our PMM allocation strategy, 
 and
     limits our options for mechanisms to access ROMs greater than 64kB 
 in
     size.
 
     Add A20 handling code to libflat so that prefixes are able to 
 access
     memory even in odd megabytes.
 
     The algorithms and tuning parameters in the new A20 handling code 
 are
     based upon a mixture of the existing iPXE A20 code and the A20 code
     from the 2.6.32 Linux kernel.
