Hmm. Except the BIOS starts executing at 0xfffffff0 in system memory,
so ROMS chips usually reside at 0xfff00000 - 0xffffffff. Usually an
alias exists at 0xf0000-0xfffff is handy but not required. (I
don't use it when I port LinuxBIOS to a new board). But usually
0xf0000-0xfffff on x86 is surrounded by RAM so this does not appear to
be the reason.
