Howdy. Congratulations to the new mail address - looks neat ;-).

Two comments:

1) I don't see how passing a single region is any help. I'd rather like to see a device tree like table structure You'd get one variable for len of the table, one with the contents. So for a universal reserved region specifier you'd get:

<u64 base><u64 len>

Then have len=2 and put data in the table:

<u64 base1><u64 len1><u64 base2><u64 len2>

That way we'd get 2 entries and the chance to enhance them later on. In fact, it might even make sense to pass the whole table in such a form. That way qemu generates all of the e820 tables and we can declare whatever we want. Just add a type field in the table.

I am fine with having QEMU build the e820 tables completely if there is
a consensus to take that path.

I agree. We better get this right :-). I don't want to maintain 5 versions of an 380 fw_cfg interface.


2) Please inline patches. They showed up as attachments here, making them really hard to comment on.

Sorry Thunderbug doesn't do that well, but they should be attached as
txt?

I suppose so, but Apple Mail still doesn't show it and definitely doesn't let me comment on it.

The easiest way for me so far has been to use git-send-email and a bash alias to fill in login information.
