1. A computing system initialization system, comprising:
a computing device;
a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) module;
a BIOS memory system; and
a BIOS processing system that is coupled to the computing device via a first Input/Output (I/O) access connection, to the BIOS memory system via a second I/O access connection that is a relatively higher speed I/O access connection than the first I/O connection, and to the BIOS module, wherein the BIOS processing system is configured to:
retrieve, from the computing device via the first I/O access connection, device data;
store, via the second I/O access connection, the device data in the BIOS memory system;
perform, subsequent to storing the device data in the BIOS memory system, initialization operations;
determine, during the initialization operations, that the BIOS module requires the device data;
retrieve, in response to determining that the BIOS module requires the device data, the device data from the BIOS memory system via the second I/O access connection; and
provide the device data that was retrieved from the BIOS memory system to the BIOS module.
