-> mycroft implies it was fixed, feedback timeout (2+ years)

FWIW, only the first part (the header file change and probably biostramp.bin
too) was ever checked in, as I never got feedback on the goodness/badness of
the PNPBIOS change from anyone.

I still have the machine, but I'm not sure what the state of the NetBSD 
installation on it is, or the state of the bug -- I think I simply gave
up on PNPBIOS once the ACPI code got sane enough to be able to probe the
built-in devices.

I definitely don't have the time to backtrack almost 6 years, but thought
I'd at least put a comment into the PR in case anyone else may care.
