Next release

[Kevin O'Connor]

It's been a few months since the last SeaBIOS release.  I'd like to
start preparing for the next release.  If you know of any defects or
critical features that should go into the next release, please let me
know.

I'd like to target January 18th for the next release.

Boot sector write protection.
Prevent modify boot sector, master boot record, partition tables.

Less and less computers come with optical disk drivers to run read-only
Live distributions from. Would be nice with option to set hard disk drive
read-only.
So you can use a HDD or USB as a LiveCD/LiveDVD distribution.

There's a patch for megasas support which is rather critical; 
without it megasas won't load properly.
Please apply.

Thanks.

Cheers,
