Hi Anthony,

I have to fix extboot for non-KVM usage which means pushing its
variables to writable RAM (probably some spare INT vector(s) in the
BASIC area).

In that process, I stumbled over the cmd value passed to extboot_init,
then stored in qemu_malloc'ed memory, and finally reported to the guest
side via port 0x404. It's constant so far, always 1. So there is quite a
bit unused code and data on both sides. Can we drop that?

Yes, that's historic from the days when extboot also did Linux kernel loading. I don't see a problem dropping.

Anthony Liguori
