This patchset creates new commandline arguments -quietboot and
-fastboot
-quietboot silences normal text output from the bios and vgabios. I
rarely care to see this output and it looks much cleaner when the
first thing shown in a KVM window is init or splash (or the dreaded
Windows logo)
-fastboot lets you explicitly skip the "Press f12 for boot menu" option
saving ~3 seconds on each boot. It is also implied by -kernel -boot
or -quietboot.
I've been working with kvm, but I realize this may be qemu related.
Figured I'd give it a shot here first.
Yes, this should go to qemu-devel.
Instead of introducing two new args, it would be good to extend the
-boot syntax. For instance, -boot dca,verbose=off,prompt=off.

This is my first patch submitted to a mailinglist so any
etiquette/procedural comments or critiques are appreciated.
Also, my asm-fu is weak so I'm sure those few lines need some help.
