[pci] Use flat real mode to call INT 1a,b101

Some HP BIOSes (observed with an HP ProLiant m710p Server Cartridge)
have a bug in the implementation of INT 1a,b101: they blithely assume
that real-mode code is able to read from anywhere in the 32-bit memory
space.

This problem affects the call to INT 1a,b101 made from within
pcibios_num_bus() (which uses REAL_CODE() and hence executes in
genuine real mode) but does not affect the call made from within
romprefix.S (since with a PMM BIOS, that call executes in flat real
mode anyway).

Work around the problem by explicitly calling flatten_real_mode()
before invoking INT 1a,b101.  This is a rarely-used code path, and so
the extra overhead of emulating instructions in some VM configurations
(see commit 6d4deee ("[librm] Use genuine real mode to accelerate
operation in virtual machines") for more details) is negligible.
