For the board config, I meant.
Some boards will have both ROM emu and VGA, some neither, some one of them but
not the other. The big question is: do all 4 cases really exist out there? So
far we're missing the case with open source onboard VGA, and not a single
slot were an x86 ROM could appear. If not all 4 cases exist, orthogonality is
academic.
