Makes the config less confusing as we don't have to use "!COREBOOT" if we wanna say "QEMU".
The change is fine, but I'm not sure about using CONFIG_QEMU. There are several other system emulators that use the same mode (eg, bochs, xen, kvm).
Note that Xen and KVM are also using QEMU nowadays.
The patch adds a "depends QEMU" to the Xen option, which I haven't tried but it seems logical.
They used to have hypervisor-specific forks, but either they have been retired, or will be soon.
FWIW for Xen we use SeaBIOS only with the upstream qemu, the old fork uses ROMBIOS and is in a purely maintenance mode so we won't be changing the BIOS there.
