[SeaBIOS] [PATCH 0/5] rom build scripting, switch vgabios implementation

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi folks,

There is a vgabios sitting implementation in the seabios repository for
a while.  Recently it got a huge overhaul and should be on-par with the
lgpl vgabios implementation.  I'd like to see qemu switch to that
implementation, for very simliar reasons which made us switch from bochs
bios to seabios.  The vgabios is written almost completely in C, thus
it is easier to modify and maintain.  We have a very responsitive upstream.

This patch series adds some build magic to roms/, for two reasons:  It
simplifies updates and documents the build process.  Covers seabios and
vgabios for now.  Anyone who is familier with the build process for
other roms (ipxe, openbios, slof, ...) is welcome to add more bits there.

seabios submodule is updated to latest master (mirroring @ qemu.org
seems to be broken btw, had to pull from seabios.org directly), vgabios
and seabios binaries are updated.

Tests, comments etc, are welcome.

cheers,
  Gerd
