the normal/fallback selection and the cmos settings are living in
completely distinct spaces. normal/fallback is not covered by the
checksum. So I don't think this applies here. At least not until we
create this necessity. I think we want to be able to use CMOS options
without normal / fallback and the other way round, so we need to be careful.
