seabios patches are not committed yet, which I don't see as blocker
though.  The patches are not that complex, we can cherry-pick them from
master into the (to be created) stable-1.8.0 branch & roll out a release
for qemu 2.3

I also think something like 2015-03-17 (maybe even later) would be
better for -rc0, given that we have quite a few patches on the list with
dependencies to not-yet merged pulls, due to peter's vacation backlog.
It'll need some time to merge pulls, rebase patches, retest, repost ...

cheers,
  Gerd
