apm: fix wrong segment load, zero segment registers

we loaded APMDSEG instead of APMDSEL into DS. (ouch!)

its not really clear why we loaded DS (wong) in the
first place as bios is supposed to do this. for the
machines where this worked it could have no effect
anyway because it was wrong so removing the DS load
and just zero all segment registers.
