Why is the via epia-m using it's own vga emulator in the
src/mainboard directory? This is BAD in terms of debugging, 
testing and finding regressions.

The VGA bios is trying to ask the system bios for certain
"extensions", the VESA OEM Extensions. i.e.
http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-0306.htm (Matrox specific)

This needs to be implemented in LinuxBIOS.
