I thought about it when Chris mentioned locking in the next patch. Some
opregion mailboxes do change due to driver <-> bios notifications, even
if the VBT doesn't. Not sure if there's any chance this could lead to us
dumping an inconsistent opregion, and if so, what difference that could
make. So I thought better safe than sorry and just let it be.
