Actually, after investigating a little further, it's not that simple.
Qemu's binary bios file is originally from bochs, but:

1- It needs to be compiled with "#define BX_QEMU" in rombios.h
2- It needs further patches located in the qemu source tarball

Using the same bios binary as bochs will result in qemu being broken one
way or the other. Now that the kqemu kernel module is GPL, having an
incompatible bios isn't a good thing.
