x86, boot: Support loading bzImage, boot_params and ramdisk above 4G
xloadflags bit 1 indicates that we can load the kernel and all data structures above 4G; it is set if kernel is relocatable and 64bit. bootloader will check if xloadflags bit 1 is set to decide if it could load ramdisk and kernel high above 4G. bootloader will fill value to ext_ramdisk_image/size for high 32bits when it load ramdisk above 4G. kernel use get_ramdisk_image/size to use ext_ramdisk_image/size to get right positon for ramdisk.
