[Bug 1859106] [NEW] 4.2 regression: ReactOS crashes on boot

[Mike Swanson]

Public bug reported:

In QEMU 4.1.x and earlier, ReactOS can successfully boot, but starting
with 4.2, it fails, instead coming up with an error "The video driver
failed to initialize."

This happens regardless of VM configuration (even -M pc-i440fx-4.1) and
it works well with older versions of QEMU. bisecting QEMU to find the
first bad commit reveals 0221d73ce6a8e075adaa0a35a6ef853d2652b855 as the
culprit, which is updating the seabios version; perhaps this bug belongs
there, but I don't know the appropriate avenue (it seems seabios is a
subproject of QEMU anyway?).
