pc.c does some magic here to map the complete bios into high memory

different way. It gets loaded to IO_MEM_ROM memory though, so the
guest should not be able to corrupt it.

But KVM doesn't support it (memory is always writable). And we want to reload
BIOS on reboot for migration purposes.

Then it should be switched over to the new rom loader. Also the logic which does *not* reload stuff which goes to IO_MEM_ROM must be turned off for kvm them.

cheers,
