It can be used and I've found it can be useful with some old board
firmwares (such as sam460ex and pegasos2) that cannot run QEMU's vgabios.
See here for more explanation:

It's not really needed to boot OSes as you can also get output from
firmware via serial but if you want to get output like on real hardware
this real mode VGA BIOS could be used as a work around.
