Modify video.S so that mode_list is also allocated from
the boot time heap. This probably saves a little memory,
and makes a compiled in command line a sane thing to implement.
- Made certain we don't overwrite code with the E820_MAP
Previously we actually reserved to much memory.
- Changed the lables around the setup.S to _setup && _esetup
The effective the bootsector size is reduced by 200 bytes.
