This is not exactly incorrect though, I presume this is talking
about boots that lack a nvram for one reason or another, and in those
cases the cpu server will not boot until a key is given. It may be
worth the inclusion of the nvram check, but flat out deleting this
is not right.

It refers to the pass() function that was removed in commit
c7be3ba9e65adcde52b942449a3e9efd2b12382e.
