INT 15 - SYSTEM - SWITCH TO PROTECTED MODE
        AH = 89h
        BL = interrupt number of IRQ0 (IRQ1-7 use next 7 interrupts)
        BH = interrupt number of IRQ8 (IRQ9-F use next 7 interrupts)
        ES:SI -> GDT for protected mode
               offset 0h  null descriptor (initialize to zeros)
                      8h  GDT descriptor

Return: CF set on error
           AH = FFh  error enabling address line 20
        CF clear if successful
