True (I've hardware if you want to improve it!), but it's inconsistent
that some booters include this flag and not others. It's been committed
and pulled up to netbsd-2 and netbsd-3 branches. While EPIA_HACK lives in
one booter (and (appears) to fix the problem) it ought to be in all of
them. When we get rid of it from all, great!
