  Description     : A bios option rom to provide legacy serial console for x86

The Google Serial Graphics Adapter BIOS or SGABIOS provides a means for
legacy x86 software to communicate with an attached serial console as if
a video card were attached. SGABIOS is designed to be inserted into a BIOS
as an option rom to provide over a serial port the display and input
capabilities normally handled by a VGA adapter and a keyboard. SGABIOS
can be used to feature OS independent serial console redirection in Qemu.
