This is no technical reason (anymore) for copying the ISA BIOS from the
original region. Instead, refactor pc_isa_bios_init to serve both pflash
and old-style BIOS setup.

Would the old behavior need to be preserved for pc-1.1 & pc-1.2?

Why? This is just restoring the older, correct behavior.

Err, sorry, there was no difference to the behavior before pflash
(unless flash was changed by the guest).

Still, I see no point in preserving the current behavior even for compat
machine. Which (sane) guest should rely on an inconsistency between the
two BIOS mappings after an update?

I will not claim to know much about this, but I thought the purpose
was to allow qemu to properly restore old saved VMs.

I agree that the alias in an improvement in machine emulation, and I
don't think any guest software will rely upon the pc-1.1/pc-1.2
behavior.

It is probably worth verifying that the 440 chipset PAM registers are
still working after this change.

Ah, I'm getting the problem: the old version created additional RAM,
outside the main memory, and that caused an additional vmsection to be
written. Unfortunate. But I guess we can address this by registering a
dummy vmstate for compat machine types. The content is redundant anyway.

Seabios relies on PAM, so they are apparently still fine. More testing
always welcome, of course.
