Hi Aleksandr,

Since SeaBIOS is a different project, we need to monitor the QEMU
patches by ourselves and only then ask the maintainer to merge the
patches if he has no objections, of course. (no automated process)

Can you please verify the series still applies to SeaBIOS AS IS
and run a quick test against today's QEMU master branch?
Can you please give Kevin your OK before he proceeds with the merge?

Thanks,
Marcel
