Ok, committed.

Btw, I'm happy to announce that the new Linux loader is fully usable on i386-pc
now, with no significant regressions.

I'd like to find a way to make it available to end users.  How would you think
of a rename?

  - loader/i386/pc/linux.c becomes the "legacy_linux" command or so.

  - loader/i386/linux.c becomes "linux" command.
