Thank you Bernd for looking through this so actively!

It really helps on VMware, because you have to:
-Click middle screen to give focus to the virtual machine
-Click Ok to accept the warning about mitigations performance (if you did not 
told, never show again)
-Press F2 to go to the virtual BIOS
In less than 1 second... maybe less.

Avoiding forcing people to do that on WMwawre is great.
