I tried your patch, and it doesn't seem to help.  The debug printf's
are before and after to calls to pnpbioscall().  I threw in a little
more code to specify which idx it's using, but it just shows
idx running up to 20.  

Are there restrictions on when the BIOS can be called which we might
be violating, like something is already configured, or its 
configuration is not registered?
