This looks like an excessive cleanup error by me. The original was:

Hubbed UV's do not have a non-UV BIOS, but hubless systems in theory
can. So uv_bios_init can fail on hubless systems if it has some other
BIOS (unlikely but possible). So I removed too much in this cleanup.
I'll send another patch set to puts this back.

Thanks,
Mike
