BL: Query and store e820 memory map

- bl stage 1: move gdt+pm setup to stage 2 (avoids mode switching)
- bl stage 2: at entry query e820 table from bios, then setup gdt+pm
- kernel/memmap: pad map entry to 24 bytes, as exported by bl
- kernel/memmap: map copy (gbowne1)
- Makefile: facilitate placing the memory map at a known location
- Update bl docs

 ## Stage 1 (`stage1.asm`)
 
-Responsible for loading the second stage using BIOS routines, and switching to protected mode.
-
 - Queries CHS parameters from BIOS
 - Loads the second stage bootloader (2048 B) to `0x7c00`
-- Sets up a GDT with descriptor entries for code and data both covering the whole 32-bit address space
 - Enables A20
-- Set CR0.PE (enable protected mode) and jump to stage 2
+- Jumps to stage2
 
 ## Stage 2 (`stage2.asm, stage2_load.c`)
 
+- Read and store E820 memory map from BIOS
+- Sets up a GDT with descriptor entries for code and data both covering the whole 32-bit address space
+- Set CR0.PE (enable protected mode)
 - Set up segment registers
 - Load the kernel ELF header
 - Parse the program headers, and load all `PT_LOAD` segments from disk
