We could declare some size limit per chipset if it has such a
limitation?

OTOH, 64k should be enough for the setup task. I would have expected
that long term this can be pushed even further down again...?!

Is there a rough estimation which part takes how much in a typical
LinuxBIOS (AMD64) port? Maybe it makes sense to go look at the biggest
chunks first.
