It looks like this mess is entirely due to my brown-paper-bag error.
I updated multiboot.S (which we have to carry in seabios source for
debian, a long story) from a wrong qemu branch (but at the same time
stating in the README that it is from the right commit).  Hence it
broke.

I'm now trying to verify 737142 (PC-BSD is unable to boot), but since
it also uses multiboot, it is highly likely that it is the same issue.

I'm sorry for the noize.

Thanks,
