Actually, it's been around for ages :-)

Actually genroms should disappear. We should make -option-rom work by
using a dummy PCI device or something like that.
In a side track, I think sgabios is a pretty useful addition to qemu.
Would you consider including it together with the other roms ?
Definitely.
This would definitely increase the out-of-the box experience.
I think we don't even need to have a -vga sga switch then. Since sgabios
does not prevent output from going to the normal vga, we could always
install it, or install when there is a -serial parameter present.
Is that true? It needs to load during video bios init, no? So doesn't
that preclude having a normal video bios installed?
