shuffler: work around KVM problem with the new shuffler
KVM uses V86 mode to simulate real mode. This causes problems with the new shuffler. This changes the shuffler handover to be in 16-bit protected mode instead, and requires the stub to do the actual entry to real mode. For the KVM hack to work, all segments must have: (seg.base & 0xfff0000f) == 0 && seg.limit == 0xffff As a result, we have to make sure the real-mode entry stub is paragraph-aligned, lest we violate the first criterion.
