sure, but ANY call to ROM will fail. There is a huge hole:
vga bios calls pcibios to set BAR 10 to ffffffff

There is a huge window here: any call to ROM code will fail, so that
includes printk (we do this on each pcibios call), and just about
anything else.

So we have a problem with a fundamental design decision
