Hi, This is my take at salvaging some NEMU good work. Samuel worked in adding the fw_cfg device to the x86-virt NEMU machine. This series is inspired by NEMU's commit 3cb92d080835 [0] and adapted to upstream style. The result makes the upstream codebase more modularizable. There are very little logical changes, this is mostly a cleanup refactor. Since v3 [3]: - Addressed Christophe suggestion (patch #8) - Rebased patch #15 since Eduardo merged Like Xu's work between. Since v2 [2]: - Addressed MST comments from v2 (only patch #2 modified) - do not use unsigned for enum - do not add unuseful documentation Since v1 [1]: - Addressed Li and MST comments $ git backport-diff -u v3 Key: [----] : patches are identical [####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch [down] : patch is downstream-only The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively 001/15:[----] [--] 'hw/i386/pc: Use e820_get_num_entries() to access e820_entries' 002/15:[----] [-C] 'hw/i386/pc: Extract e820 memory layout code' 003/15:[----] [--] 'hw/i386/pc: Use address_space_memory in place' 004/15:[----] [-C] 'hw/i386/pc: Rename bochs_bios_init as more generic fw_cfg_arch_create' 005/15:[----] [--] 'hw/i386/pc: Pass the boot_cpus value by argument' 006/15:[----] [--] 'hw/i386/pc: Pass the apic_id_limit value by argument' 007/15:[0002] [FC] 'hw/i386/pc: Pass the CPUArchIdList array by argument' 008/15:[down] 'hw/i386/pc: Remove unused PCMachineState argument in fw_cfg_arch_create' 009/15:[----] [-C] 'hw/i386/pc: Let pc_build_smbios() take a FWCfgState argument' 010/15:[----] [-C] 'hw/i386/pc: Let pc_build_smbios() take a generic MachineState argument' 011/15:[----] [-C] 'hw/i386/pc: Rename pc_build_smbios() as generic fw_cfg_build_smbios()' 012/15:[----] [--] 'hw/i386/pc: Let pc_build_feature_control() take a FWCfgState argument' 013/15:[----] [--] 'hw/i386/pc: Let pc_build_feature_control() take a MachineState argument' 014/15:[----] [--] 'hw/i386/pc: Rename pc_build_feature_control() as generic fw_cfg_build_*' 015/15:[0017] [FC] 'hw/i386/pc: Extract the x86 generic fw_cfg code' Regards, Phil.
