Current seabios will try to boot from selected devices first,
if they are all failed, seabios will also try to boot from
un-selected devices.

For example:
@ qemu-kvm -boot order=n,menu=on ...

Guest will boot from network first, if it's failed, guest will try to
boot from other un-selected devices (floppy, cdrom, disk) one by one.

Sometimes, user don't want to boot from some devices. This patch changes
seabios to boot only from selected devices.

If user choose first boot device from menu, then seabios will try all
the devices, even some of them are not selected.
