 Without tables in high memory, seabios won't run on your chipset properly.
 it overwrites your tables in the F segment, as seabios itself lives there.

 Also, once there is support for high_tables_base everywhere, the code in
 src/arch/i386/boot/tables.c can be cleaned up and simplified considerably.
