Spent the whole day playing with options.

While getting more familiar with linux bios, I enabled PCI AGP & APIC
and the code seems to have executed just fine & dandy here.  I also
tried enabling SMP, but seems it also needs MP code.  But getting side
tracked. :-/

I also saw a minor problem with the ordering of addition/subtraction in
src/mainboard/tyan/s1846/Config.lb, the tyan/s2895 had specified a
different order... wasn't it, i think.

Also tried using lzma on file.elf.  

Would love to see more debug output from elfboot. :-/

The patch looks good to me as is.
