SeaBIOS doesn't seem to call non-PNP legacy option roms and handles

legacy option roms should get called without exceptions.
SeaBIOS calls all non-PNP option roms unconditionally. It places them
in the "BootList" so that it can order their invocation relative to
PNP option roms. This is the recommendation of the BBS spec - the
idea is that many legacy option roms hook the C: drive - so ordering
their invocation allows a PNP drive to hook the C: drive first.
Got a pointer in the BBS spec?
I thought the order should be:
- init PNP roms
- init legacy roms
- call BEV/BCV
