I'm tempted to apply the attached patch at least to the Debian package
to brown-tape-fix the issue.

What it does is:

- Make biosmem_load_segment look for the biggest area available inside
  the segment, instead of assuming that either the segment contains the
  biosmem heap and only the available part of the heap should be used,
  or it doesn't contain the heap, and thus the whole segment should be
  used.

- Make biosmem_find_boot_data skip the biosmem heap, as well as the
  wholes in the biosmem map.
