Patches against SeaBIOS are also required as we're planning to switch to
SeaBIOS.
In fact, you don't need to bother with pcbios if you'd rather focus on
SeaBIOS.

Could we dynamically generate the necessary tables? Using iasl is a bit
problematic as we introduce more knobs via qdev. I expect that we're
going to move to an almost entirely generated set of tables.
