        Define the behavior of the boot loader when the load end address
        and the bss end address are zero in the Multiboot Specification,
        and add the support into GRUB. I've modified a patch from Yuri
        Zaporogets <address@hidden>.
        
        * stage2/boot.c (load_image): In the case of Multiboot a.out
        kludge, set the load end address to the load address plus the
        size of the OS image file, if it is zero. Similarly, set the bss
        end address to the load end address, if it is zero.
        
        * util/mbchk.c (check_multiboot): Don't check if the load
        address is greater than or equal to the load end address, if the
        load end address is zero. Don't check if the load end address is
        greater than the bss end address, if the bss end address is
        zero. And, don't check if the load end address is less than or
        equal to the entry address, if the load end address is zero.
        
        * docs/multiboot.texi (The address fields of Multiboot header):
        Added descriptions about the behavior of the boot loader when
        LOAD_END_ADDR is zero and BSS_END_ADDR is zero.
