0040h:00B6h is as much OS visiable as the "RESET RESTART ADDRESS".
The former has no standard definition tho and could or not be used
by the OS or BIOS. The "RESET RESTART ADDRESS" is used by the
(commercial) BIOS together with the CMOS "Shutdown Status Byte" for
internal purpose. I am not sure whether the OS expectation is valid.
This however is a minor detail which can be changed later if needed.

If pci_bios_init() is not called on S3 resume, pci_bios_init_bridges()
is not called either. This way bios_shadow_init() is never called and the
bios is never shadowed. Since it's not shadowed there is no need to lock it.
What do i miss here?

Your patch does also add a uuid_probe() before the if-case. Since it does
not remove the one in the if-case, uuid_probe() will be called twice.

find_bios_table_area() is supposed to also succeed in the
BX_USE_EBDA_TABLES case because bios_table_area_start in rombios.c
is unconditional. In the BX_USE_EBDA_TABLES case mptable_init() does use
mp_config_table and smbios_init() does use ebda_cur_addr which is set in
ram_probe().
