I took a stab at getting this booting but it dies when trying to make
a call to bios32_indirect in arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c, the address
apparently is triggering a page fault that of course cannot be
handled. Here is the resulting oops:

PCI: BIOS32 Service Directory structure at 0xc00f62d0
PCI: BIOS32 Service Directory entry at 0xfd5d7
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c00fd5d7
