Ugh, so this is broken, as 1.0 is BOARD version and not BIOS. Bios
version is in form of Google_BUILD.BRANCH.PATCH, so we can't really use
it to limit the workaround (as we do not have "less than" comparator).

Anyway, in coreboot we changed board version to 1.1, so we should use
it. I'll post v2. Luckily this patch has not been picked by Linus as far
as I can tell.
