SeaBIOS calls all non-PNP option roms unconditionally.  It places them
in the "BootList" so that it can order their invocation relative to
PNP option roms.  This is the recommendation of the BBS spec - the
idea is that many legacy option roms hook the C: drive - so ordering
their invocation allows a PNP drive to hook the C: drive first.
