I'm booting an imac12,2 in UEFI mode (need a "Run EFI in physical mode" patch
before doing so),
here's how :
1) boot from latest ubuntu live CD (hold alt, or c, at boot)
2) dump the bios
   dd if=/dev/mem of=vbios.bin bs=65536 skip=12 count=1
3) move it to your partition's /lib/firmware/radeon/vbios.bin
4) use your patch, but move the radeon_read_bios_from_firmware
   call before all other calls to get the bios (force using vbios.bin)

That's it and thank you :)
