I'm proposing the attached patch to replace Frank Sorenson's
i386-buildc-write-out-larger-system-size-to-bootsector patch currently
in -mm. The goal (presumably) is to make the bzImage format
self-terminating.

Looks good to me. Using the 2 additional bytes allows the header to
contain the full system size for a very long time, and your patch
includes documentation and x86_64.
