The problem is, you cannot steal the thing from the BIOS, you'll trample
on its settings and the next time it runs it will simply re-instate it.
And aside from probing the EN bit on boot there is no way of determining
this.
So forcing the state might get you an ill-functioning system.

I'm not sure why people would do that, but yeah I guess we can do
something like that.
