* function: xms_get_driver
*
* description: get_xms_driver() returns the address of the XMS driver.
* If the private variable driver_address has not been initalized,
* it calls the undocumented function INTERRUPT to get it.
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUNCTION LONG xms_get_driver
VARDEF
UINT ax,bx,cx,dx,ds,si,es,di,bp
UINT x_d_a[2] based driver_address
ENDDEF
*---
* If we don't already have the driver's address, go fetch it from
* INT 2fh. It'll come back as ES:BX (a double word). We'll stuff
* that into the private variable ``driver_address'' by using an
* array called x_d_a of two UINTS based at the same address.
