    drivers/pc80: Ensure recovery mode always boots fallback image
    
    The current fallback / failed boot count checks only look at the
    value of last_boot when determining whether to execute the
    normal or fallback image.  Furthermore, the normal boot bit is
    unconditionally set if the failed boot count has not exceeded
    its threshold, thereby overriding a request from the user to
    boot into fallback mode if the user does not also set the failed
    boot count above the failure threshold.
    
    Only check the failed boot count if the normal boot bit is set
    in nvram.
