This will be needed for compatibility with x86 Windows Vista/7 videoprt.sys builds.
Might be also useful in future for platforms (x86 , ...) where V86 mode is not available or buggy.

Reference: https://wiki.osdev.org/PCI#Address_and_size_of_the_BAR
To determine the amount of address space needed by a PCI device,
you must save the original value of the BAR, write a value
of all 1's to the register, then read it back.
Note: 64-bit BARs are not supported yet.
* Call HalInitializeBios both in phase 0 and 1
* In phase 0 allocate some physical memory, instead of using arbitrary hardcoded pages, that then end up as page tables and get filled with VESA tables
- Change INIT_FUNCTION and INIT_SECTION to CODE_SEG("INIT") and DATA_SEG("INIT") respectively
- Remove INIT_FUNCTION from function prototypes
- Remove alloc_text pragma calls as they are not needed anymore
* Add an NDK header to define INIT_FUNCTION/INIT_SECTION globally
* Use _declspec(allocate(x)) and _declspec(code_seg(x)) on MSVC versions that support it
* Use INIT_FUNCTION on functions only and INIT_SECTION on data only (required by MSVC)
* Place INIT_FUNCTION before the return type (required by MSVC)
* Make sure declarations and implementations share the same modifiers (required by MSVC)
* Add a global linker option to suppress warnings about defined but unused INIT section
* Merge INIT section into .text in freeldr
