Well, I think the only thing this code does at this point is confusing
people.
I also have a small compatibility story: seabios got build-in serial
console support a while back. We never managed to add some kind of
automatic switch-over from sgabios rom though (there only is a sanity
check to make sure they are not both active). So the code got little
actual usage for quite a while. Roughly five years later qemu and
libvirt did a hard switch-over from sgabios to the seabios build-in
serial console. No compatibility problems.
The qemu versions which depend on this code are more than ten years
old meanwhile ...
take care,
Gerd
