This particular patch was a favor to Peter Stuge; as such I don't have a use case myself for it. However the initial patch to disable all option ROMs was for a system on which I did not want any unknown binary code to ever execute. This has multiple applications ranging from useful (high-security systems) to informational (proving that yes, you can have a fully functional system utilizing only open source software).
Out of curiosity is this patch just going to be abandoned then? It took some time to put together.
Thanks!
