This is not the only qemu specific file. Generally SeaBIOS fulfill
two functions. First is legacy BIOS implementation, second is QEMU HW
initialization. Mostly the first one is used when Seabios runs on real HW,
HW initialization is done by coreboot in this kind of usage. And there
is no clean source file separation between QEMU and coreboot use case.
The POST code looks like if (CONFIG_COREBOOT) { do it coreboot way
(often do nothing)} else {init QEMU HW}.
That said, I am fine with renaming if this really helps someone.
