Is it actually OK to initialize just BIOS_CFG_IOPORT and avoid
everything else currently done in bochs_bios_init?
Would it make sense to simply call bochs_bios_init?

Wouldn't this have the unintended consequence of possibly loading other
option_roms into the guest memory?

Why this change? It is not mentioned in the commit message.
