No.  If it were more complete, it ... might.  I'm not sure, maybe needs
E820h in the future, etc.  PCI - which wasn't planned - might need it too.
VESA and higher resolution video modes would probably need BIOS.   But,
currently, any BIOS use is expected to be done by the bootloader (or my
DOS TSR startup).  I completely program everything I implemented.
