patch for RTL8139 users of 4.2.8



4.2.8 introduced a 512 byte static buffer in osloader.c which will
probably cause the RTL8139 code to go over the 32kB limit when
executing. Here's a patch for this until 4.2.9 comes out.  You will
still have to take out all the non-essential options to keep the size
down. This patch is optional for non-RTL8139 users.
