If I understand correctly, the window mirroring is chipset specific.
Why not copy the area instead of remapping it?  This way one can avoid
the chipset specific logic.

Long term though, I think we're better off deploying something like
SeaBIOS and using it to run the option roms.  After all, the option
rom support is going to need to implement bios calls at some point..
