So, what's the bottom line of all this discussion?  Please excuse
me but I don't understand what it is all about...  And it looks
like with at least stock 1.7 version of seabios it isn't a good
idea to make universal image (with xen support included), right?

Bastian, what do you think, is it okay to build a separate image
for xen for now?

Thanks,
