For APM calls, BX contains the device index, which is zero for
the system BIOS. Disconnect requres BX = 0.

Starting with kernel 2.6.23-rc1, the i386 APM driver fails
on several of my machines with the message:
apm: BIOS not found
This happens because of a bug in the i386 boot code rewrite
from assembler to C. The original assembly code had the
following code in its APM BIOS presence test (boot/setup.S):
andw $0x02, %cx # Is 32 bit supported?
je done_apm_bios # No 32-bit, no (good) APM BIOS
That is, the code bails out if bit 2 is zero.
In the new C version, this is coded as (boot/apm.c):
if (cx & 0x02) /* 32 bits supported? */
return -1;
Here we see that the test has been accidentally inverted.
The fix is to negate the test. I've verified that this
allows the APM driver to work again on my affected machines.

APM probing code for the new x86 setup code. This implements the
same functionality as the assembly version.
