_ROM method

Interesting, so it looks like

(a) the _ROM method only returns 0x1000 chunks at a time
(b) stores the VBIOS in 8 32K chunks (the chunks themselves do not appear to be
in the ACPI data dump)

I wonder if this is running up against our "fast" ACPI method reading logic
again.

Can you try to edit drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadow.c and
comment out (or remove) the line

"{ 0, &nvbios_acpi_fast },"

And see if that helps?
