You have to choose between a "-M pc-i440fx-1.7" that migrates from 1.7
to 2.1, and one that migrates from 2.0 to 2.1.
- to make 1.7->2.1 work: you need both Igor's patch ("generate AML
only...") and "piix: set legacy table size for 1.7". All configurations
will work, including those with PCI bridges.
- to make 2.0->2.1 work (with "-M pc-i440fx-1.7"): you need to omit
"piix: set legacy table size for 1.7", and configurations with PCI
bridges remain broken. Igor's patch is not needed, because it only
affects configurations with PCI bridges.
mst prefers the first one, and he changed my view on that too. And he
noticed that with "piix: set legacy table size for 1.7" more things just
work, so it's better to include it.
