Re: [RFT] x86 acpi: normalize segment descriptor register on resume

If s3_bios depends on the (invalid) contents of the hidden part of any segment

Depending on it being in Big Real Mode isn't all that broken, however, especially on laptops where the vendor has control over the system BIOS/video BIOS.

Enabling BRM by default *shouldn't* break anything, so it might be what we want to do anyway.
