Subject: Re: "Glove box" BIOS patch causes boot flicker

A "glove box" is a device used to handle toxic stuff. In this case the
toxic stuff is the BIOS.
There were some minor bugs (typos) in the conversion to the glove box
coding style. The ones we have found have been fixed, so the first
thing is to try the current mainline or the current tip tree. Otherwise
I would look for issues where either the wrong register is changed, or
something like a variable is changed instead of a field.
