Backport of SeaVgaBios binary from upstream to our branch

Backport of SeaVgaBios binary from upstream to our branch

[Anthony PERARD]

Hi,

The recent merge of QEMU 2.0 into our qemu-xen tree make the FreeBSD
test of osstest fail. This is related to a change of vgabios upstream,
they have switch from lgplvgabios to seavgabios.

First commit to fail the test:
  6eefccc0bb9c34051b1e21880fc3a1c1c8686edd
  roms: update vgabios binaries
  This also switches from lgplvgabios to seavgabios.

But a more recent version of seavgabios fix the issue. So backporting it
from upstream would fix the issue. The two commits to cherry-pick:
db76ec6291df8a03c2cc82ea1249049383cca392  seabios: update to 1.7.5-rc1
3257fc8383b13856e6719d1390655ce24bafd071  seabios: update to 1.7.5 final

I've tested these change using osstest on FreeBSD and Windows XP.
(test-amd64-i386-freebsd10-amd64 and test-amd64-amd64-xl-qemuu-winxpsp3)

Thanks,

Just to clarify, we consume seavgabios via the qemu tree and not our own
seabios.git build (which just gets us the BIOS proper), correct?

Great.

Stefano, please can we get these in ASAP (ideally today) so that osstest
can test qemu-upstream and then xen-unstable over the weekend and clear
the backlog (last push was ~12 days ago).

Cheers,
Ian.
