LAR currently overwrites the top 13 bytes (0xfffff3-0xffffff) of the bootblock with zeros, then it stores the ROM size in 0xfffff4-0xfffff7. The top 8 bytes are unused in that scheme. Leave the top 8 bytes as they are and allow us to store something in there during the bootblock build process. The byte at 0xfffff3 is 0xff by default on x86 and setting it to 0 is not needed.

Nack.
They're unused, and until they are used, they should be cleared to a consistent state.
