I have found all of this except the place where it calls the boot time
initialization vector. Boot time vector is offset 0003 into the VBIOS image. I
can't locate the call to this in the DRI source but maybe I'm just blind. That's
why I wonder if there is some other way to reset a card other than jumping to
0003.

This is the first call I see in xf86ExtendedInitInt10(int entityIndex, int
Flags);

    pInt->BIOSseg = V_BIOS >> 4;
    pInt->num = 0xe6;
    LockLegacyVGA(pInt, &vga);
    xf86ExecX86int10(pInt);
    UnlockLegacyVGA(pInt, &vga);
