I'm not familiar with the Xen parts of your patch series.  However, I
don't think one should be compiling SeaBIOS with
CONFIG_OPTIONROMS_DEPLOYED enabled.  That option was for very old
versions of Bochs and QEMU that did not support fetching of optionroms
directly from PCI config space nor from fw_cfg.

That compile time option is no longer well supported and it may be
removed in the future.  I suggest looking at getting one of the other
mechanisms working instead of using CONFIG_OPTIONROMS_DEPLOYED.
