I think there is another problem as well. In arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c
there is

void setup_output_buffer_if_we_run_high(struct moveparams *mv)
{
high_buffer_start = (uch *)(((ulg)&end) + HEAP_SIZE);
if (EXT_MEM_K < (3*1024)) error("Less than 4MB of memory.\n");
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't think this works.

Also, I noticed you use STANDARD_MEMORY_BIOS_CALL in 3 separate files. I would
like to suggest that it would be a good idea to create an include file, maybe
something like "asm/setup.h", to help keep things in sync.

Thanks.
