Well, doing it that way isn't wrong, it's just needlessly complicated
and error-prone.

Suggest starting a new paragraph right here.

You first get "splash-time" as a string, and then ...

... you get it again as a number.  I figure you do that because
"splash-time not specified" is not the same as "splash-time=T" for any
T.  I don't like such interfaces.  Not this patch's fault.

Just noticed: qemu_extra_params_fw[] has external linkage, but is used
only in this function.  Care to make it static in this function in a
separate patch?
