Added new BIOS module for calling BIOS interrupts.

This module provides an interface for drivers to use to perform calls
to the BIOS (only really for use by graphics drivers which need to use
the VESA BIOS). It uses the x86emu library from X.org which emulates
a real mode x86 CPU. This is necessary for x86_64 as virtual 8086 mode
no longer exists there.
