To start I added all of this framework in freebios v1.x and it
caused not problems there.  We just default to using it all in v2.
There should be no reason to require it.  Especially if you are doing
your own motherboard.

Beyond that on the boards that use it I usually write a failover.c
which comes before auto.c that sets things up.

As for the magic include order in auto.c that is because currently
romcc does not do prototypes.
