Let's give an example how to point to SETUP_E820_EXT data using setup_indirect.
In this case setup_data and setup_indirect will look like this:

All kernel_info data should be part of this structure. Fixed size data have to
be put before kernel_info_var_len_data label. Variable size data have to be put
after kernel_info_var_len_data label. Each chunk of variable size data has to
