Change log for seabios package in Debian

seabios (1.16.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/rules: turn off LSI_SCSI and DEBUG_IO for 128k bios variant.
    these are probably the last bits which can be turned off before
    we will start breaking old versions of qemu.  upstream qemu
    turned off all pci devices for 128k bios variant, leaving only
    stuff needed for -M isapc, since it dropped <1.7 machines
    compatibility

seabios (1.16.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream release (rel-1.16.3)
    this brings up a few fixes, including `ahci: handle TFES irq correctly'
    which is needed for qemu 8.2+ with `D2H FIS when processing NCQ command'
    commit, esp-scsi fixes, and more.

seabios (1.16.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * sync with upstream stable 1.16.2 release (rel-1.16.2 tag):
    this brings up to the exactly same state as our rel-1.16.1.patch
    did, and brings up 2 more fixes:
    - usb: fix wrong init of keyboard/mouse's if first interface
      is not boot protocol
    - xen: require Xen info structure at 0x1000 to detect Xen

seabios (1.16.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * set bios-microvm.bin bios size to be 128k not 256k.
    Upstream qemu uses 128k, but for some reason I set it to 256k when
    adding it to the debian package.  This change breaks migration between
    qemu running with old and new bios package but only for those VMs which
    are using this particular bios variant. In debian it is most likely the
    still-experimental qemu-system-x86_64-microvm binary.  It is better to
    fix this sooner instead of waiting before many VMs with this bios will
    emerge.
