SeaBIOS needs to write to the f-segment. So it needs to have some way to set that from read-only to read-write, write in it and when it's done set it to read-only again.
On PCI we have a mechanism for that. The ISA machine does not though. To stay regression free and happily enable users to continue using the -M isapc machine let's just map it as RAM. The BIOS on PCI will set it to r/o later either way.
