Hello!
These patches adds support for providing SMBIOS "Onboard Devices Extended
Information" fields to the guest i386/x86_64 system. This could be used in
conjunction with biosdevname to provide "consistent network device naming"
inside VM.
I will also send corresponding patches to seab...@seabios.org and
linux-powere...@dell.com (for biosdevname).
Changes since previous version:
