These are intended to be exceptional cases, not everyday options.
If you need them to make Plan 9 work on a given machine, tell us.
Does anyone have a machine that still requires *noe820scan?
I know no one requires *norealmode, because that's redundant
with *noe820scan the way things are currently set up.
