bios: Make sure PVH still works with "rom" feature
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Without this change, QEMU/CloudHV will attempt to load the ROM into the
memory region below 4GiB. But something (i.e. SeaBIOS) is already there.

We just pick an arbitrary address. It doesn't actually matter where it
gets loaded, as the ROM code isn't used when doing PVH boot.
