EPIA-M HW graphics slow under linuxbios

[Dmitry Borisov]

Dave,
I did what you said. The patch was applied correctly. I built the romimage
and burnt it the same way I did it before and it did turn the VGA on, true,
but never ran linux, just infinite loop inside linuxbios...
Here are the last messages I've got before it went to the restart.
