[SeaBIOS] [SeaBIOS PATCH 1/2] Fix regression of commit 87b533bf

After adding more device entries in ACPI DSDT tables,
the filesize of bios.bin changed from 128K to 256K.
But bios could not initialize successfully.

This is a regression since seabios commit 87b533bf. Prior to
that commit, seabios did not mark the early 32bit initialization
code as init code. However, a side effect of marking that code
(handle_post) as init code is that it is more likely the linker
could place the code at an address less than 0xe0000.
The patch (just a hack) would cover up the issue.
