PATCH 7/10 Fixed pnp bios limits

PnP BIOS data, code, and 32-bit entry segments all have fixed limits as well; set them in the GDT rather than adding more code. It would be nice to add these fixups to the boot GDT rather than setting the GDT for each CPU; perhaps I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks tricky.

Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.
