Hmm, I got it via qemu-devel.  Maybe it is just delayed for you.

--verbose please

Do you talk about ppc?

Current rom loading code will stay, we can't drop it.  We might be able 
to simplify it a bit some day when all option rom loading goes via 
seabios because everything but option roms will be loaded at a fixed 
address.  But seabios itself can't be loaded via fw_cfg (chicken, egg).
