I would like what I'm making to be as usefult to the next 440bx user
as possible and so I wan't to keep all the fallback framework stuff in
unless I just have a real remove it.

Man the waters just get deeper.  I though auto.c was first.  I just
looked at failover.c and the fallback does a 'retun bist'  so who
called failover.c?

Can you list out the boot sequence for me step by step?  Who calls what?

Why does that  require them to be after the big block of includes? 
You can't just stick them all up at the beginning of the .c file?
