In that case, you can just write an INT 15-like function which pretends to be a
BIOS, and have the Linux kernel call your function instead of a real INT 15.
Your function than just fills out the E820 structure and returns.
You're going to need to do something like this anyway, because if the kernel
tries to call INT 15 on your machine, it will hang.
