Hello,

I use Tim's mboot.c32 to load multiboot kernels over pxelinux. However, some
kernels require the symbol table and other information in the ELF section
header table to be able to load properly. This functionality is not present
in mboot.c now, so I added support for it.

The patch is attached. It would be great if you can push this into the next
release of syslinux so ELF multiboot kernels are fully supported.

The patch is diff'ed against syslinux-3.11.

thanks,
Ram
