This series of patches adds a nice BIOS startup splash screen.
It adds a "-splash" option allowing to specify the picture file name (a 640x480
(or less) and true color PNG) to display. You can enable/disable a fade in,
fade out and the bootmenu. The time to display the image can be also given (in
seconds).
Idea stollen from VirtualBox.
[PATCH 1/2] [BIOS] Add splash image support
[PATCH 2/2] [QEMU] Add BIOS splash image
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.
