Subject: Add experimental feature to run vga optionrom in parallel with init.
X-Git-Tag: rel-0.5.0~17
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=980328091d8c9670f1fc0fd6a3c5330414192c2a;p=seabios.git

Add experimental feature to run vga optionrom in parallel with init.

Add option (default disabled) that allows the vga rom to run while
    hardware init is still in progress.
