Comment:

 olpc-bios-sig *still* needs to be less strict.  We changed it to allow
 firmware versions Q2B* as well as Q2A*, and then we released Q2C* and it
 thought it wasn't running on an XO and broke X again.

 Attached is a patch to make it only care for whether it sees "Q2" at the
 signature address, regardless of the next character.  Mitch, Andres, does
 this look sensible to you?
