I think we can be pretty flexible as long as we're careful about
releases. For instance, I've applied Gleb's current patch but won't
update SeaBIOS until the interface is worked out. If we decide to
implement a new interface, there's no harm since we've never had a
qemu build that had a combination of SeaBIOS and fw_cfg that didn't work.
Or we can choose a new interface number if the interface changes.
One of Kevin's points was that the ACPI tables are a documented
interface. AFAIR, the firmware configuration interface isn't. We need
to start documenting it (and reject patches without accompanying
documentation).

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
