lihuang -> Eduardo

/usr/share/qemu-pxe-roms is provided by etherboot-zroms-kvm >= 5.4.4-13

should we point out here ?

on my 5.4, I have 5.4.4-10 installed. so there is no error when updating kvm to
83-140,but the symbolic link is broken.
.qa.[root@lihuang kvm]# file /usr/share/kvm/pxe-rtl8139.bin 
/usr/share/kvm/pxe-rtl8139.bin: broken symbolic link to
`../qemu-pxe-roms/rtl8139.zrom'
and then pxe boot failed .
