So my general feeling here is that this code is well isolated and 
provides a feature that some people will find interesting.  I know I 
personally am interested in this feature.  I also think that a good 
number of vendors will want to use this mechanism to brand their 
virtualization offerings.

So I'm inclined to take this patch set unless there is objection.  I 
don't necessarily disagree with some of the feedback about making the 
BIOS not delay at all but I think that's an orthogonal discussion to 
this one.  The Press F12 thing also annoys me and I'd be happy to look 
at patches to make it optional.
