Are you willing to do a flag day and switch from the Bochs BIOS to 
seabios and deal with the regressions?  If so, we should coordinate this 
and do the same thing in QEMU.

I was thinking, side-by-side for a couple of weeks to let issues be
worked out, then switch the default to SeaBIOS until the remaining bugs
are killed, then remove the bochs bios.
