Our BIOS is in RAM and usually overwritten by the guest.
On reboot this is reloaded from whatever BIOS is on the target,
so migration should still work.
I have verified that migration between 2.4 and 2.6  plus these
patches forth and back still allows to reboot.

In other words the bios and the code in ipl.c have to be updated
in lockstep, then everything is fine.
