This is the initial attempt to support booting SeaBIOS from U-Boot.

This is tested:
- On Intel Crown Bay board with a PCIe graphics card, booting SeaBIOS
then chain-loading a GRUB on a USB drive, then Linux kernel finally.
- On QEMU x86 target with U-Boot chain-loading SeaBIOS to install/boot
a Windows XP OS.

This series is available on u-boot-x86/seabios-working.

Previous RFC patch @ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/523764/

Changes in v2:
- Drop patches which were already applied
- Add more detailed information for testing QEMU/SeaBIOS
  (eg: how to create 'disk.img')
