post
Possibly introduce a data type for the many seg/off pairs.
Audit all sti/cli calls. Audit all call16 calls to make sure flags is
setup properly with respect to irqs.
The __call16 code does a long jump to the interrupt trampolines - this
is unnecessary.
Possibly implement 32bit pcibios support.
Allow one to select adding 32 bit code to 0xf000 or in a separate
location.
Implement bios post memory manager (PMM)?
Add support for calling BCVs (and registering ATA drives) in a user
selectable manor.
Possibly add option to eliminate tsc based delays on emulators.
Add a kconfig style configuration program instead of requiring users
to modify config.h.
Look at integrating the lgpl vgabios into tree.
Look at usb booting specs. Look at possibly supporting usb
keyboard/mice.
Add a graphical boot splash screen?
