Dear York Sun,

POST memory testing is not controlled through hwconfig, but through
it's own set of environment variable settings.  Please don't mix
these.

NAK for the current implementation.

What does that mean?

Do yoxpu consider this a good idea? I don't.

Should the code not live in the post/ directory?

Indentation by TABs only, please.

Blank line between declarations and code.

Blank line here, too.

Need braces for multiline statements.

NAK. We provide exactly one way to control the POST system.  hwconfig
has nothing to do with that, so please don't pull that in here.
