The reason LinuxBIOS copying the table to 0xf0000 is that the kernel 
will search the table in certain memory regions which includes 
643rd Kb and 0xf0000-1Mb. For uncompressed LinuxBIOS in Flash rom, the
copy is not neceressary since the table is uncompressed and in the 
memory region under kernel's search. For DoC, we have to make the F 
segment mapped to DRAM and copy the table to F segment. I have no idea
what to do if you are using a compressed LinuxBIOS with Flash Rom.
