Completed a new design and implementation for EBDA
(Extended BIOS Data Area) support in the RSDP scan code.
The original code improperly scanned for the EBDA by simply
scanning from memory location 0 to 0x400.  The correct
method is to first obtain the EBDA pointer from within
the BIOS data area, then scan 1K of memory starting at the
EBDA pointer.  There appear to be few if any machines that
place the RSDP in the EBDA, however.

Integrated a fix for a possible fault during evaluation
of BufferField arguments.  Obsolete code that was causing
the problem was removed. (Asus laptop boot crash)

Found and fixed a problem in the Field Support Code
where data could be corrupted on a bit field read that
starts on an aligned boundary but does not end on an
aligned boundary.  Merged the read/write "datum length"
calculation code into a common procedure.
