You'll probably need to do the same for boot1 and I think BTX.
Alternatively, you should see how the loader is handling A20 and
do that in the various boot programs instead (I think there's a PR
somewhere about using a BIOS call instead of frobbing the keyboard
controller directly that supposedly fixes things like USB keyboards
in the loader.)
