I think this should best be submitted / discussed separately from the q35 patch series. And dropping the dsdt from seabios will should actually be the last step. Loading via fw_cfg works even when seabios has a builtin dsdt. So we can start loading the dsdt via fwcfg unconditionally in qemu without touching seabios. Once everything is in place in qemu we can finally zap the builtin dsdt in seabios (or make it a config option so latest seabios continues to work with older qemu versions). cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
