I'd say it's a necessary feature, but not one to carry over from the
extboot implementation. We have the seabios boot menu (how to reach
it?), we need to store the nvram persistently, and we need to extend
the selection menu to qemu, but that's unrelated to this patch.

signature is too narrow to contain.
