BIOS on Latitude CPt C/CPi R (Rev. A14)

Hello.

I have observed the next issues on my Dell Latitude CPi R400GT after
upgrading it to the latest BIOS release (A14):

1. There is a problem recovering current Font mode (normal, or expanded)
when returning from BIOS setup: the current font mode should be
restored, but it changes to expanded. It worked fine in previous
BIOS releases (at least with rev. A08).

2. Key code 3Ah is added to keyboard buffer when returning from BIOS
setup: I have observed this problem with NetBSD 1.6.1, it probably
happens with other operating systems too. I am not running Windows.

Enhancements:

1. When an Admin password is locking the BIOS setup, creating an access
password should not be possible: this way, the owner of a Dell's
laptop is able to protect it against unauthorized modifications
(not only in BIOS configuration, and owner ID string, but also
unauthorized creation of boot passwords by other users.)

Any feedback on those issues will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Igor.
