src/platform/kgpe/default.nix: set USE_OPTION_TABLE=no
Upstream describes this option as "Enable this option if coreboot shall read options from the CMOS NVRAM instead of using hard-coded values." The RTC_BOOT_BYTE (which controls normal/fallback) indicator is always taken from CMOS NVRAM, regardless of how this option is set. When set to `no`, no other parts of the CMOS NVRAM are read or written. On KGPE-D16 I have found that USE_OPTION_TABLE=yes is frustratingly flaky and unstable; about 1 in 20 boots will hang in the PNP device enumeration. Apparently during SMP boot, multiple cores attempt to access the (single) CMOS NVRAM concurrently, causing massive headaches. Please don't turn this option on unless you are willing to deal with extreme frustration.master
