It's the old, lgpl vgabios implementation.
Was left in as fallback when we switched to seavgabios, so we could
easily switch back in case we see regressions. It's unused since years
now, reportedly doesn't even build, and lacks support for recently (and
not so recently) added display devices.
Zap it.

Both bochs-display and ramfb are devices with a simple framebuffer and
no vga emulation or text mode. seavgabios has support for text mode
emulation (at vgabios call level), we are using that to provide some
vga compatibility support for these devices.

ACPI aml files traditionally have been managed in the seabios repo.
In qemu version 2.0 we've switched over to have qemu generate the
acpi tables and provide them to the firmware via fw_cfg.
The old aml files are still there and used for old machine types.
Well, actually the q35 file only, the piix4 version is compiled into
seabios (unless built with CONFIG_ACPI_DSDT=n) and is there for
reference only.
The aml files havn't been touched for a long time, and given that
new features requiring acpi changes are typically only added to new
machine types this is unlikely to change in the future. So stop
updating them.
That allows to cleanup things a bit on the seabios side in the future.

Upstream supports named configurations now and ships with
settings for qemu. Use them, drop our config header copying.

We had build problems due to the git version checking in the ipxe build
system in the past. Don't remember the details, but the problem seems
to be gone now, so lets remove the workaround.

This adds a special build of u-boot tailored for the e500 platforms we
emulate. It is based on the current version of upstream u-boot which
contains all the code necessary to drive our QEMU provided machines.

When using $(MAKE) within a makefile, we shouldn't be explicitly
including $(MAKEFLAGS) on the command-line. It causes problems
when that makefile is recursively invoked. When the roms/Makefile
is invoked as in make -C roms bios a spurious 'w' appears on the
sub-make invocation, due to the erroneous $(MAKEFLAGS) inclusion.

Adding xhci support to seabios made it jump over the 128k line.
Changing the bios size breaks migration, so we have to keep a
128k seabios binary for old machine types. New machine types can
use a large 256k bios which should be big enougth for a while.
This patch updates the seabios build process to build seabios twice,
once full featured and once with xen and xhci turned off so the
resulting binary is small enougth to fit into 128k.

Add some logic to detect cross compilers. Add support for "make slof",
which should JustWork[tm] if you are on a ppx64 machine or have a ppc64
cross compiler installed somewhere in your path.

Recurse into vgabios once, adjust dependencies, call make using

"make -C roms efirom" will build rom binaries with EFI support.
They are composed from three images: legacy bios, efi ia32
and efi x64. So netbooting via SeaBIOS will continue to work
like it does today, and additionally we get network support
for EFI. This target needs the EfiRom utility (shipped with
edk2) somewhere in the $PATH.

This patch adds some glue to roms/Makefile to build vgabios binaries for
qemu. It covers both the lgpl'ed vgabios implementation used by qemu
traditionally and the new seabios implementation.
The purpose of this patch is to (a) document the vgabios build process
and (b) simplify seavgabios testing for those who want to play with it.
