In the thread starter
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/2382> you said:

If I search the TianoCore wiki for "CirrusLogic5446.rom", there are two
hits, the first being the one above, the other
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=OVMF>,
with download links.

The builds linked on that page are from svn r11337
("OVMF-X64-r11337-alpha.zip"), when CirrusLogic5430Dxe was still
current, and compiled into CirrusLogic5446.rom.

I downloaded the ZIP file. Its README says

    * Either copy, rename or symlink
      CirrusLogic5446.rom => vgabios-cirrus.bin

OVMF downloads CirrusLogic5430Dxe from the emulated card because you ask
qemu to load it as an option rom. If you restore vgabios-cirrus.bin to
the (non-UEFI) SeaBIOS binary, then QemuVideoDxe should start working.
