Meanwhile I just uploaded another release of seabios to Debian archive which brings size of bios.bin back to 128Kb, by disabling XCHI (usb3.0) and PVSCSI -- 1.7.4-3.
So things should be working fine on debian side again now (at least on sid), even without patching xen.
And it looks like we should re-think what we remove from our (qemu) "stripped-down" bios - as it turns out, Xen actually uses bios from qemu unchanged... But it is really really fragile - on my build (gcc 4.7), with 2 options removed, 128Kb is 99.7% used ;)
Do the seabios packages also produce a non-stripped down seabios for
Yes, ofcourse.
newer qemu? If so then I think the Xen package should just pick that one up instead.
Sure it should and hopefully will in a near future. But I also want to support pain-free upgrades, so it is better if old xen works with new seabios at least for some time.
