x86 setup: fix ghost entries under /sys/firmware/edd take 3
Some BIOSes do not indicate error when trying to read from non- existing device. Zero buffer before reading and check that we possibly have valid MBR by looking for MBR magic. This was fixed in different way for edd.S in http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=114087765422490&w=2, but lost again when edd.S was rewritten in C.
