DOS resets the serial ports reported by the BIOS. This can mess up debugging and timing when the serial baud rate changes on the debug port. The new "etc/advertise-serial-debug-port" option allows one to suppress the debug serial port from the normal list of serial ports the BIOS reports to DOS.
FYI, I have pushed the above series (as well as the encodeint.py, kconfig updates, and CBFS alternate location patches) to the seabios master repo.
