I think it would be better to explicitly cast the address, i.e., (unsigned short *)0x472.

It seems like a strange place to do this operation. hammer_time() already checks for MODINFOMD_EFI_MAP to see if vty_set_preferred() should be called; we could do the same check earlier in order to set the BIOS flag, and perhaps save the result to avoid a second preload_search_info() call.

Move the write to hammer_time()
