The SeaBIOS code isn't intended to be pulled out and used in other
projects - there is a lot of code to handle BIOS quirks.  I'm not sure
why you'd want to re-use this code either - if you're working on code
that will run in 16bit mode, you might as well just call the bios for
read/writes to the disk, and if you're working on 32bit code, there
are probably better references (eg, linux, freebsd, etc.).
