[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Running vgabios during resume from S3 on QEMU by default

[Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>]

Run vgabios during resume from S3 by default on QEMU. QEMU
still able to modify SeaBIOS behavior if it wishes so by providing
etc/s3-resume-vga-init file. With QEMU emulated vga cards this behaviour
is desirable otherwise console becomes unusable with Linux guests after
resume. Since we control vgabios source we can be sure that running it
on resume from S3 is safe.

Older versions of SeaBIOS had a runtime configure option (disabled by
default) to enable this behaviour and RHEL always enabled it, so this
code path is well tested.  But QEMU upstream always compiled SeaBIOS
with default options and hence this patch will modify upstream
behaviour. Are there any objections to this change from QEMU side?
