This hack will stop working completely once smss supports boot 
applications list. Is there any reason not to have csrss load vidport and 
use a I_AM_CSRSS ioctl to inform it of the address space to use. Is it
possible there are bioses that don't set 6dh, perhaps loadros could copy
the contents of 6dh to 10h since people uses it to boot are already taking 
their lives into their hands with regard to the system state after DOS 
has booted.
