Re: [PULL 4/6] seabios: update binaries to git snapshot

Good.  I've sent a seabios patch to limit phys-bits to 46.
OVMF does the same btw.

That would be good to have even with the patched seabios.  At some point
in the future we probably want lift the limits in seabios and ovmf, to
allow running guests with many terabytes of memory.  Having a way to do
that without breaking old linux guests would be very helpful.

thanks & take care,
