region which matches real hardware and which some real-world legacy bioses I'm
running rely on. Furthermore, aliasing in the isa-bios area is already the
current behavior in the bios (a.k.a. ROM) case, so this series consolidates
behavior.

For migration compatibility the aliasing is only performed on new versions of
the q34 and pc machine types.

v2:
* Don't leak bios memory regions (Phil)
* Add compat machinery (Michael)

Testing done:
* `make check` with qemu-system-x86_64 (QEMU 8.2.2) installed. All tests
  including migration tests pass.
* `make check-avocado`

Best regards,
Bernhard

Phil,

you requested comments on the bios attributes which clashes with patch 3. I've just sent a new iteration of my series with all your requests addressed, including the comments.

Best regards,
Bernhard
