Heck!  At least now we know why the effect of a slow NVRAM is so
amplified.  Why on earth does the '/dev'/nvram' need to check the
checksum *each* time.

I'm not sure we can avoid the lseek() overhead, though I guess if this
is the way the 'nvram' driver is working, it *would* actually be cheaper
to read the whole NVRAM block in a single read.
