This fixes a bug which occurs with the A20 methods PS/2, KBC, and Port 92.  If your 
machines use Always On, BIOS, or fast A20 methods, you won't encounter the problem.  
You also won't see the problem if you use /METHOD:<method> parameter even if the 
method is PS2, KBC, or PORT92.

What happened was that the PS/2 A20 method test used a critical register which was not 
saved and restored.  So the PS/2 method or anything which came after it (KBC, Port 92) 
locked up the machine.

Small bug, big consequences.  Oh well.
