one possible way forward would be to split the current SeaBIOS rom into two roms: "qvmloader" and "seabios". The "qvmloader" would do the qemu specific platform init (pci init, smm init, mtrr init, bios tables) and then load and run the regular seabios rom.
qvmloader sounds a lot like coreboot.
Agreed. I don't much like the qvmloader idea. I did want to open up discussion on the possibility, however. The only advantage it has over coreboot is that it could reasonably live in the qemu repo, and I do think that the hardware descriptions should like in the same code repo as the hardware implementation.
