We shouldn't.  However, I'm inclined to in for now, until we have an
OpenBIOS fix actually committed.  I'd prefer to keep the existing
setup sorta-working when the current situation is unlikely to break
working code, even though it's definitely wrong.

BenH or Cédric, if you want to resend the hrfi fix patch with the
64-bit rfi support left in for no, that would be good.
