What do you do after reading the data port? In the case of the A20
code, we do dummy reads and loop until the data port drains (0xff of
course means it never drains...)

Note that it is quite likely the A20 code never gets exercised on Apple
boxes, since we only run it if A20 is disabled on entry, *and* the BIOS
doesn't implement INT 15h AX=2401h.
