Note also that currently seabios created this SSDT dynamically and thus can support any number of vcpus, by porting those changes we will limit it to 15 vpus. -- Gleb. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
