On UEFI systems, there's no special reason to believe that there's
anything at 0xc0000 - it depends on whether a CSM got loaded or not.
Everything is awful. So...

I don't know what we want to do here. This is, at some level,
fundamentally wrong - however, it also wouldn't surprise me if this is
also the only copy of the video ROM we have on some UEFI systems,
especially since I believe that Windows 7 still required that there be
a legacy ROM it could use for bootloader modesetting on UEFI
platforms. So simply making this conditional on BIOS may break
existing machines. But if there *is* a ROM there then we should be
able to id it from the usual video ROM signature?
