This patch fixes the problem. It's not elegant but v2 is on the path to obsolescence and I would rather not do something more complex.
Comments welcome. Luc, thanks for raising this issue.

Grep the tree. Find out where CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN is used. Find out where CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA is used. Find out where vga_inited is used. Find out that my patch was actually rather trivial, and that there really is nothing to be afraid of.
Needlessly including the pci_rom and emulator code is rather bad. Especially when i am working hard to not include a 64kB vga bios and instead limit the size for equal functionality to several kB.
As for complexity, i am looking at a +4400 -1000 diff for native unichrome already.
How useful is linuxbiosv3 at this point? Can it be used to boot something as well-known as the epia-m already?
I really do not see what you continue to keep having against this trivial and rather sane fix.
