Me. The copy of the video BIOS in the c000 segment is patched at POST to 
prevent it being reexecuted (as it may make calls into system BIOS code 
that no longer exists), so we need to run the stashed copy. The 
information I have is that this is safe for g80 - it certainly doesn't 
seem reliable on older hardware. No clue about g90 yet.
