I built qemu with and without the patch with the emulator x86emu. For me it takes 200 bytes in stage2/segment1 and 11 bytes in stage2/segment2. Since it implements a few new opcodes, that's not surprising. I suppose we could make those opcodes dependent on using the new emulator, but it doesn't seem worth it. With biosemu enabled, it takes just over 3K more in segment 1 and 31 bytes in segment 2. As advertised: larger, but not huge.
