Yes, sorry, this is a leftover from when I though that the output from 
configure would be used by the top level Config.mk file.

Probably, I don't think any of this are used by the hypervisor.

I'm quite confident this:

CONFIG_OVMF ?= n
CONFIG_ROMBIOS ?= y
CONFIG_SEABIOS ?= y

should become configure options, if (as I think) they have no relation with the 
hypervisor. I'm not really confident that letting the user set it's own 
qemu/seabios… repository so easily is a good idea.
