That's sort of a circular dependency, as Kevin generally prefers to
merge SeaBIOS patches once the underlying QEMU code has been committed :)
For a total ordering, all QEMU patches except v8 7/8 could be merged in
QEMU, then the v5 SeaBIOS patches could be merged, then Gerd could
refresh the bundled SeaBIOS binaries, then QEMU patch v8 7/8 could be
merged.
I'm not actually suggesting that though, given that the soft freeze is
in about a week.
Kevin, can you please make an exception this time and merge the SeaBIOS
patches ahead of the QEMU patches?
Thanks!
Laszlo
