    EDD: add edd=off and edd=skipmbr command line options
       
    New command line options
    edd=off     (or edd=of)
    edd=skipmbr (or edd=sk)
    
    runtime options for disabling all EDD int13 calls completely, or for
    skipping the int13 READ SECTOR calls, respectively.
    
    These are provided to allow Linux distributions to include CONFIG_EDD=m, yet
    allow end-users to disable parts of EDD which may not work well with their
    system's BIOS.
    
    I incorporated comments from Randy Dunlap, and got an ack from Andi Kleen.
