Ohh, I didn't notice this negation at the beginning... Now meaning of
my functions makes more sense. The old code it only for boardrev <
0x1250 (plus other conditions). This new function has "p250" in its
name, that may mean it's for boardrev >= 0x1250.

Yeah, that's fishy. Maybe that new function ai_btcombo_p250_4313_war
should be called if !BFL_FEM && BFL_FEM_BT? But it sounds weird.
