The PCI Firmware Specification apparently requires that the PCI Data
Structure be DWORD-aligned. The implementation in OVMF also requires
this, so vgabios ROMs don't work there. With this fixed, I can now
initialise the VGA ROM from EFI, and EFI can display using INT 10h
services.

We have had this in the OpenBSD port of QEMU for awhile now. Is it 
possible to have this reviewed and commited?
