Ok...so how does it crash? And where? Can I get a backtrace or something?

Hi!
This change causes a crash when booting, on Pentium.

First time, HalpBiosDisplayReset() is called when booting, before
KiI386PentiumLockErrataFixup(). Recent changes cause a page to be
protected from writing. Then kernel tries to write to this page and
crashes. Another time, HalpBiosDisplayReset() is called when shutting
down; before r39959, crash happened to be there. From r39959 and
before r43958, write protection was established only in
KiI386PentiumLockErrataFixup().
It appears that a fix for a fix for a fix is now needed:)

Should be fixed as of 44032.
