[SeaBIOS] [PATCH 0/8] Convert legacy fw_cfg ports to romfile

QEMU has multiple mechanisms for passing configuration information
into SeaBIOS: cmos, fw_cfg ports, and fw_cfg "files".  The preferred
mechanism is the "file" interface which is internally accessed via a
"romfile" interface.

It's annoying to have to switch between the different interfaces.  So,
this patch series converts all the older fw_cfg ports (and some cmos
info) to use romfile as well.

I've lightly tested this series.  I've also pushed it for testing to:
