BIOS upgrades are almost always shipped as a complete replacement
to the existing BIOS, so if you just get the latest one on the site,
you'll get everything you need.
It's done this way for several reasons -- one being that they're so
small it doesn't matter about trying to save bandwidth. It's also more
difficult to patch binary code than to patch human-readable text.
Finally, the technology that stores BIOSes (EEPROMs or similar) tend
to work on an all-or-nothing basis, so you *have* to upgrade the whole
thing in one go anyway.
