It's probably nothing of use, but iirc on Milo/AXP i can only do this
_after_ I know where my cpu/mainboard specific inb/outb are. This
part is in the x86 startup code, so it's a non issue. 2nd LinuxBIOS
does not use the ill kernel linking milo does, so even on other
platforms it won't hurt. Just came to my mind.
