This option is not valid anymore, libxl will complain with:
"qemu-xen does not support bios=rombios."
Sounds like a good time to remove bios=rombios altogether and strictly
support bios=seabios only (plus the override).
Fine with me.
But probably we should NOT drop building RomBIOS, right?
On staging/master? I don't think we ought to waste cycles rebuilding it.
It'd only be a dependency for stable trees, so shouldn't it be built
there instead? Then by the time we don't support it in stable either
(because they all went EOL) it'd naturally just stop being built.
The mechanics of how that would work I'm not sure. We have per
stable-tree pipelines. Do they build everything, Anthony?
Sorry, I phrased that wrong.
I meant we shouldn't remove RomBIOS from the tree.
