Currently, the BiosImage type in vbios code is implemented as a type-wrapping enum with the sole purpose of implementing a type that is common to all specific image types. To make this work, macros were used to overcome limitations of using enums. Ugly match statements were also required to route methods from the enum type to the specific image type. Simplify the code by just creating the common BiosImage type in the iterator, and then converting it to specific image type after. This works well since all the methods common to different BiosImage are called only during the iteration and not later. Should we need to call these common methods later, we can use AsRef and traits, but for now not doing so gives us a nice ~50 negative line delta versus the existing code and is a lot simpler. Also remove the now obsolete BiosImage enum type.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
