Actually is possible specify upstream qemu and seabios from distro's 
packages or custom builds with xen configure.
If these are used and qemu package will be updated, xen will use updated 
qemu but if seabios package will be updated, xen will use the new one 
only with xen rebuild.
If for example seabios will be updated with fixes and/or new version (in 
some case required by newer qemu) xen will still have the bug fixed and 
will have new bugs until will be rebuilded.

Is possible make hvmloader point to seabios specified in configure 
instead include it in hvmloader?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
