INT 15 - SYSTEM - COPY EXTENDED MEMORY
AH = 87h
CX = number of words to copy (max 8000h)
ES:SI -> global descriptor table (see #00499)
Return: CF set on error
CF clear if successful
AH = status (see #00498)
Notes: copy is done in protected mode with interrupts disabled by the default
BIOS handler; many 386 memory managers perform the copy with
interrupts enabled
on the PS/2 30-286 & "Tortuga" this function does not use the port 92h
for A20 control, but instead uses the keyboard controller (8042).
Reportedly this may cause the system to crash when access to the
8042 is disabled in password server mode (see also PORT 0064h,#P0398)
this function is incompatible with the OS/2 compatibility box
