We wanted QEMU to support larger VMs (in therm of RAM size) by default
and we therefore introduced patch "[openSUSE] increase x86_64 physical
bits to 42". This, however, means that we create VMs with 42 bits of
physical address space even on hosts that only has, say, 40. And that
can't work.
In fact, it has been a problem since a long time (e.g., bsc#1205978) and
it's also the actual root cause of bsc#1219977.
Get rid of that old patch, in favor of a new one that still raise the
default number of address bits to 42, but only on hosts that supports
that.
This means that we can also use the proper SeaBIOS version, without
reverting commits that were only a problem due to our broken downstream
patch.
We probably aslo don't need to ship some of the custom ACPI tables (for
passing tests), but we'll actually remove them later, after double
checking properly that all the tests do work.
