The FAQ explains in section 18.8 how to set up a real-mode callback,
which is what you need.  If I understand what you need to do
correctly, you should call the library function
`_go32_dpmi_allocate_real_mode_callback_retf', then pass the `segment'
and `offset' fields it returns to your 16-bit real-mode driver.
