+; The following code is public domain licensed

+ 
+; Function: check_a20
+;
+; Purpose: to check the status of the a20 line in a completely self-contained state-preserving way.
+;          The function can be modified as necessary by removing push's at the beginning and their
+;          respective pop's at the end if complete self-containment is not required.
+;
+; Returns: 0 in ax if the a20 line is disabled (memory wraps around)
+;          1 in ax if the a20 line is enabled (memory does not wrap around)
