core: Reimplement lots asm code in C
There is an awful lot of code currently implemented in assembly when it could just as easily be implemented in C. Having it in C makes it much easier to share code between the BIOS and forthcoming EFI firmware backend. The following code fragments have been rewritten, - timer initialisation - adjust_screen() - check_esapes() and mem_init() - conio.inc - plaincon.inc - cleanup.inc - serirq.inc - font.inc - graphics - writehex Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
