Sadly, we then found out on irc that this was not needed. I should chase 
down the owner of the epox board and see wether he can test this.

Thanks for the thorough review though, i hope the main function can

Yup, it is a bios decision, so it could be that 0x4000 never moves, but 
other boards can then also use this board enable when they raise the 
same pin.
