Hi,

This caused a regression for me on i7 920.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50778

I bisected qemu and came to the patch that introduced the above.
Then after some more help on irc (fixing up parserom.pl and compiling with
NO_WERROR=1) biscted ipxe and came to
71560d185475117b10994d839afe059577e7768c is the first bad commit
reverting this commit in ipxe master fixes my problem but probably breaks
something else.
bisect log

No idea why this change should affect Bloomfield processors.


Thanks

Peter
