This series of patches adds a nice BIOS startup splash screen. It adds a "-splash" option allowing to specify the picture file name (a 640x480 (or less) and true color PNG) to display. You can enable/disable fade in, fade out and bootmenu. The time to display the image can be also given (in seconds).
Idea and some parts of code are stollen from VirtualBox (GPLv2/CDDL).
