I've run into an issue with the SeaBIOS submodule included in the QEMU
tarball: The SeaBIOS scripts/buildversion.sh script looks for a .git
directory or file and, if absent, goes on to look for a .version file,
neither of which the QEMU tarball ships. That means it will fall back to
"?" as version, whereas the binary blob contributed by Gerd displays
"rel-1.7.4-0-g96917a8".

Should our tarball workflow include generating a roms/seabios/.version
file based on git-describe in that directory to fix this mismatch?

Thanks,
Andreas
