Gaah. This still looks like just total ad-hoc hackery. The logic for
it all seems very fragile, just a random case made up from the one
failing issue. There's no underlying logic or design to it.

I still think that we should just make people explicitly ask for a
blank slate if the bios allocations don't work out. Rather than trying
to fix it up automatically, which has been a total rats nest of random
crud.
