Yes I know they're built in seabios/out, and I know one may
use -L option here.  So that, for example, -bios option of
qemu makes less sense now than it was before.

But my question was about something different.

Can I use current seabios with old qemu which does not provide
the separate ACPI tables?  For example, does current bios contain
these tables too, so they're both separate and embedded?

And the reverse, can I use old bios with new qemu which do provide
the separate tables?

Which tables will be used in each case?
