eboot.c regression allows boot, from v3.7 on- no boot with UEFI, only legacy, bisect results

System: Hewlett-Packard product: HP EliteBook 2570p
CPU~Dual core Intel Core i7-3520M CPU (-HT-MCP-)
Kernel: 3.12.4-2-hplove x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Enlightenment 0.18.99.18202
Distro: Arch Linux


I believe this issue is common to only a few iterations of ivy bridge

I had been patching eboot.c to v3.7 with the attached
efi_hp_boot.patch, but due to the recent changes in eboot.c (in v3.13)
I decided to bisect, and identified the following:

# first bad commit: [dd5fc854de5fd37adfcef8a366cd21a55aa01d3d] EFI:
Stash ROMs if they're not in the PCI BAR

My next step is diffing the eboot.c from v3.13.

or would a better path be to check for ivy bridge?
