State-Changed-Why: 

I think the dsicussion in the lists has clearly proven that this BIOS
violates the specs.  Jordan has already mentioned the problem in the
documentation, so i think this is by now all we can do about it
without breaking the bootstrap for those 99 % of BIOSes that do adhere
to the specs.
