The performance would be completely unusable. But it isn't the biggest
issue. Even the loader already has to jump through a few loops to use
the BIOS -- you certainly don't want to do that for the normal system.
VESA is somewhat special as it offers an interface for use from
Protected Mode, but the rest doesn't.
