I want seabios to be able to distinguish between old qemu and new one.
Hence special value. I used it incorrectly in may v2 seabios patch. Will
resend asap. Will teach me to not change logic at the last minute :( I
removed "valid" field between v1 and v2 of the patches and introduces
special value for count instead. As a result I made one bug in qemu and
one is seabios. Heh.
