I also don't fully yet grok the inner workings of the VSA. All you who are in this deeper perhaps can comment. Is there any hardware reason that the VSA _has_ to be in 16-bit mode? I know orginally it had to be 16-bit for the BIOS callbacks, but we don't require all that legacy stuff.
not that I know of.
Can we port the necessary parts over to protected mode?
I want to have as little as possible in bios. NO reason not to put lots of stuff directly in linux.
