[SeaBIOS] Xen HVM Support

The following enables support for running SeaBIOS as the virtual BIOS in a Xen HVM (fully-virtualised) guest. In this series SeaBIOS is loaded by hvmloader (the Xen early firmware) rather than directly as was previously tried. This approach turned out to be far less intrusive on the SeaBIOS side

As you may know we (the Xen project) are hoping to transition to SeaBIOS at the same time as we transition to the recently upstreamed qemu support for Xen. The following patches add very basic support for running SeaBIOS as the BIOS for a Xen HVM (fully virtualised) guest. These patches really
