See below patch to implement this thing in LinuxBIOS.
It should already be there....
I know cmos util needs to check the location.
I know, that's what I thought, and that's why I implemented parsing it in the lxbios utility as well. But then again, go grep for LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM in the source tree. You will find it is not there.
I'll apply the patch.
BTW, I've added another patch at https://openbios.org/roundup/linuxbios/issue42
after finding out that linuxbios_table.c is exactly the same on ppc and i386 systems. We should definitely share code here.
