Ron we have users of the LinxuBIOS table on PPC? It was my impression that we
did not.
I would be happy to hear what Greg has to say. If nothing uses this entry
I will be happy to change this. Otherwise we need to know what the test
program below reports on ppc.
If I can modify the definition to an equivalent one without breaking anything
that is my intention. We have just enough users on x86 that anything else
involves pain.
