Hi Linus,

Two patches are cosmetic; the EDD issue can cause crashes when booting
from CD-ROM on some systems.

[x86 setup] EDD: Fix the computation of the MBR sector buffer
Some BIOSes require that sector buffers not cross 64K
boundaries. As a result, we compute a dynamic address on the
setup heap. Unfortunately, this address computation was just
totally wrong.

[x86 setup] Newline after setup signature failure message
End the "No setup signature found..." with a newline (the puts
routine will automatically add a carriage return.)
