Hi Timothy,

Thanks for submitting the patch.  However, with BDFs not being stable
on some boards and with an existing mechanism available to blacklist
option roms by vendor/device id, I don't think it makes sense to add
that patch to the master seabios repo.  Your other patch to disable
PCI option roms looks fine to me.
