Since it is a hack for borked BIOS code, I think having it as an
option is probably fine (just like all the other magic CPU options).
Adding the option to GENERIC and reconfiguring only results in the
recompilation of 3/4 files.

If people feel that it would really be more useful as a tunable,
then I can figure out how that is done.
