Grep the tree. Find out where CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN is used. Find out where 
CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA is used. Find out where vga_inited is used. Find out 
that my patch was actually rather trivial, and that there really is 
nothing to be afraid of.

Needlessly including the pci_rom and emulator code is rather bad.
Especially when i am working hard to not include a 64kB vga bios and
instead limit the size for equal functionality to several kB.

As for complexity, i am looking at a +4400 -1000 diff for native 
unichrome already.

How useful is linuxbiosv3 at this point? Can it be used to boot 
something as well-known as the epia-m already?

I really do not see what you continue to keep having against this 
trivial and rather sane fix.
