( Side remark: For running the ArmVirtQemu edk2 platform on QEMU at least, the approach being taken is to generate all APEI related stuff in QEMU, and to keep the virtual firmware fully un-enlightened about APEI. This is consistent with how QEMU and ArmVirtQemu handle other ACPI tables, through the QEMU linker/loader interface. References to sub-threads: http://mid.mail-archive.com/[email protected] http://mid.mail-archive.com/[email protected] This is not to say that I "oppose" the branch -- that would make zero sense, as physical platforms need to create their APEI-related tables in their firmwares, like they create all other ACPI tables. I'd just like to highlight that with QEMU (hence with ArmVirtQemu and OVMF), all hardware-related ACPI tables are generated on the QEMU side, and that the APEI tables should be no different. In fact this closely matches Achin's virt-oriented design, visible in the first above-referenced thread. ) Thanks Laszlo _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
