Usefulness of this is limited to situation where payload uses bios calls
which are quite few (dos and dos based tools, some booters). You can't boot
a modern OS this way: it will fail the millisecond OS switches to its own
drivers. Additionally to do such thing you need to leave kernel in memory.
Leaving kernel in memory can be useful in some situations but needs memory
restructuring. Follow parallel thread on moving kernel to high memory
