Not that I know of...

... but I thought that goto's were mostly reserved for cleanup / error
paths in SeaBIOS (a quick grep seemed to confirm).

I recall seeing this kind of construct in the kernel source (especially
if the jump is from within a deeply nested conditional). I'm not against
it, just thought that it could count as unusual for SeaBIOS. Kevin will
know. :)
