     Well, I think, that A20 should be then separated from UMB handling code
OR, better, UMB handling code should grab all UMB from exiting manager and
then distribute it itself.

     Though, as noted by Michael, UMBPCI+EMM386 is far from common
configuration, so this issue is minor and may be deleayed. :)

     Agreed. This is _feature_, and, I suggest, its usage also far from
common. May you give examples, when disabling A20 handling is need?
