Sorry I've taken so long to respond to this.  I've been busy, then
away, then busy, then recovering from surgery, then...

I think this looks good overall, just a couple of details I'd like to
check, see below.

This condition seems weird.  Why would the kernel and bios images be
the same.  I guess this because of the logic setting bios_name above,
which also seems kind of weird.  Can you clarify what's going on here,
changing that bios_name setting logic, if necessary?

Is this right?  You've already advanced cur_base by bios_size from
where you loaded the bios image, so kernel_base here will point
*after* the bios, not into it, but kernel_size is set to bios_size.
This seems strange.
