We've been trying to get the x86 platform guys to explain the master file
to us for well over a year, and all we've gotten back is "it's
undocumented, no one understands it, but there are magic entries in it you
can't remove, or the system becomes a brick".  So we've left it alone.  If
and when we can get some explanation of how it should be handled (or,
perhaps better yet, the file can simply be removed), we'll put support for
it into the driver action.
