I vote for putting it into sequoia.c, since it's very likely to happen that 
Sequoia will at one point be booted without the bootwrapper. Or perhaps it 
should go into some common code checking the PVR and disabling it when this 
440EPx/GRx is detected, since all those boards are affected.

Best regards,
