3.4.15 MPS Version Control For OS

This specifies the version of the Multiprocessor Specification (MPS) to
be used. Version 1.4 has extended configuration tables to improve sup-
port for multiple PCI bus configurations and provide future expandability
- use this for NT, and possibly Linux. It is also required for a secondary
PCI bus to work without the need for a bridge. Leave it as 1.1 for older
server Operating Systems.
