It would seem that it can be disabled (possibly, I have not verified
that).  But boy it would sure be useful to have a port that functions
still even when the OS has died.  Imagine how easy it would be for
anyone to write programs down to the bare-metal---imagine the utility to
operating system developers and the like.
