Hm. The problem happens earlier. int 0x15 is something that the VGA BIOS
would probably install, but this does not seem to work. Thus there's a
hardcoded response handled in src/mainboard/via/epia-m/mainboard.c (v1)
function handleint21()

Looking at above code, int0x15 gets called with eax=0x5f01 (besides lots
of other values) - a case that is not handled in handleint21() at all.

There needs to be some way to call into interrupts set up by the
executed option rom, or otherwise functions like handleint21() will have
to be added and changed for every minor release of a vga bios update.
