[Qemu-devel] [SeaBIOS PATCH v3] boot: add a new type to halt booting

[Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>]

Current seabios will try to boot from selected devices first,
if they are all failed, seabios will also try to boot from
un-selected devices.

For example:
@ qemu-kvm -boot order=n,menu=on ...

Guest will boot from network first, if it's failed, guest will try to
boot from other un-selected devices (floppy, cdrom, disk) one by one.

We need to make it configurable. This patch added a new type, qemu can
add "HALT" at the end of bootindex string, then seabios will halt
booting after trying to boot from selected devices.
