Did you get any feedback from the Ubuntu guy? It would be really great to be able to do this from the regular update.
Not at the moment.
Also... what change do you think this SEABIOS fix will work with older releases? It strikes me that since its an emulated BIOS it should not care that much about which kernel the host machine is running.
It apparently doesn't affect the earlier releases of Ubuntu, or not so far as I have seen. The BIOS doesn't affect the running of Linux, but it can affect the initial location of PCI BARs which is enough to break assumptions made by the Linux virtio driver.
