[Qemu-devel] [RfC PATCH 0/2] seabios: going to 256k size

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

With the seabios update to the next master branch relase (NOT the stable
branch pull sent out earlier today) seabios rom size will cross the 128k
boundary and we have to deal with that.

So here is a RfC patch series with one aproach to handle this: We'll go
build two seabios binaries, one 128k (will less features), one 256k
(full featured).  Machine types 1.7+ will use the 256k bios while older
machine types will continue to use the 128k sized one.

Series applies on top of the "roms: various build improvements" pull
request sent out earlier today.

Comments?

cheers,
  Gerd
