This patchset creates new commandline arguments -quietboot and -fastboot -quietboot silences normal text output from the bios and vgabios. I rarely care to see this output and it looks much cleaner when the first thing shown in a KVM window is init or splash (or the dreaded Windows logo)
-fastboot lets you explicitly skip the "Press f12 for boot menu" option saving ~3 seconds on each boot. It is also implied by -kernel -boot or -quietboot. I've been working with kvm, but I realize this may be qemu related. Figured I'd give it a shot here first. This is my first patch submitted to a mailinglist so any etiquette/procedural comments or critiques are appreciated. Also, my asm-fu is weak so I'm sure those few lines need some help.
