Limine 3.12.1 has relaxed MBR validation

Alfons has been testing Limine on some old BIOS computers. A couple of them, including a Dell D630 laptop, Limine was not working. Discussion here:

It took awhile, but mintsuki narrowed the problem down and fixed it in version 3.12.1, as reported in above link.

Some info on the Dell D630:
