Is 0.11 -> 0.12 migration supposed to work? That could become quite
nasty too. But maybe that is impossible anyway due to the switch to
seabios?

In theory, it should work. SeaBIOS should not be a guest visible change
because the guest should not depend on what BIOS we're using.

Indeed. In theory even the switch of the option rom loading should work just fine. After migration old bios and roms are still in memory, the next reboot will be the world switch to new seabios, new roms, new way to deploy roms and everything.

Lets see how this works out in practice ...

BTW, I've got the series in staging now and am testing it. I've folded in the changes we've passed around and updated the commit log appropriately.

If you've got additional changes, please send them out, otherwise, let me know if you're happy with what's in staging.
