Right. My concern was about:
"I pretty sure because I try compile it without this driver and everything seems
to be ok."
So that means the board work without this bios emulator driver if the radeon
driver is disabled? But we want to use the radeon driver, so we need the bios
emulator stuff.
I think the discussion quite drifted away from the original question, which was
if the dead code in bios emulator stuff can be simply removed? ... and if it
really is dead code.
