This is the initial attempt to support booting SeaBIOS from U-Boot.
This is tested: - On Intel Crown Bay board with a PCIe graphics card, booting SeaBIOS then chain-loading a GRUB on a USB drive, then Linux kernel finally. - On QEMU x86 target with U-Boot chain-loading SeaBIOS to install/boot a Windows XP OS.
This series is available on u-boot-x86/seabios-working.
Previous RFC patch @ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/523764/
Changes in v2: - Drop patches which were already applied - Add more detailed information for testing QEMU/SeaBIOS (eg: how to create 'disk.img')
