AFAICT, the declarations that I moved are not LinuxBIOS-specific in nature.
Sure, EFI wasn't using them, but AFAICT that's just because EFI is the
firmware equivalent of a control freak :-)  (unless I missed something of
course..)

Probably a good idea; then we could reuse "pc" for real PC-specific stuff
that is not specific to BIOS neither x86. but why not just `bios' ?  I think
that term already refers to the PC firmware.

In general it's not a problem for me to do that, but the file wasn't just
moved, the parts that were specific to bios were left in i386/pc/loader.h.
