My understanding is that Seabios should get more testing with qemu-kvm (other than the cpu hotplug debate). Gleb/Avi would know for sure. Now whether pcbios option rom supports gpxe properly i don't know, maybe that is the root cause for the problem (yes, qemu-kvm loads gpxe and attempts to boot from the network first, the above commit only removes the annoying multi-second delay).
