We already have a working multiboot implementation that uses fw_cfg to get
its kernel module etc. data in int19 runtime now.
So what's missing is a working linux boot option rom. While at it I figured it
would be a good idea to take the opcode generator out of pc.c and instead use
a proper option rom, like we do with multiboot.
So here it is - an fw_cfg using option rom for -kernel with linux!

Right now we load the guest kernel to RAM, fire off the BIOS, hope it
doesn't clobber memory and run an option rom that jumps into the kernel.
That breaks with SeaBIOS, as that clears memory. So let's read all
kernel, module etc. data using the fw_cfg interface when in the int19
handler.
This patch implements said mechanism for multiboot.

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.
This reverts commit 99a0949b72.

Follow on patch will use it to determine the size of the MADT and
other BIOS tables.

Disable the lengthy BIOS prompt for selecting a boot device by default,
but let the user reenable it via '-boot menu=on'.

uses the QEMU firmware configuration interfacce to send the NUMA
topology to the BIOS, which has to setup the tables. Only one firmware
configuration channel is used.
