I tried to merge it, but it the new bios won't boot. I traced this to
ata_reset: it toggles the soft reset bit in the command register and
expects to see the busy bit set, but the ide device model returns zero
status if the selected device has no drive.
No idea if the device model or the bios is wrong.
If anyone (hi Gleb) wants to take a look, it's in the branch bios-merge
on git.kernel.org.
btw, commenting this out leads to boot failure as well, but that may be
related.
