proper fix for 'some chipsets can't handle buffers > 128kB', vo_zr used to ignore information about the _actual_ buffer size returned by the kernel and continued to use the requested buffer size (the old fix was to request smaller buffers, but not ignoring information about the actual buffer size is way better)

/*
    bios2dump.c - Was designed to dump memory block to file.
    Usage: as argument requires absolute address of memory dump and its lenght
    (int hexadecimal form).
    as output - will write file which will named: memADDR_LEN.dump
    where: ADDR - given address of memory
           LEN  - given length of memory
