The following enables support for running SeaBIOS as the virtual BIOS in a Xen HVM (fully-virtualised) guest. In this series SeaBIOS is loaded by hvmloader (the Xen early firmware) rather than directly as was previously tried. This approach turned out to be far less intrusive on the SeaBIOS side and leaves knowledge of the virtual hardware setup encapsulated within hvmloader which is updated in lock step with the hypervisor and associated tools. BIOS tables are built by hvmloader and passed to SeaBIOS via a simple in memory data structure. The tables are identified by scanning for their signatures which is hopefully extensible enough but the core structure can also be extended as necessary. The associated hvmloader series was only posted on xen-devel can be found at: http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=130692187111154 the most interesting patch is probably: http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=130692182011054 Ian.
I'd like to use it for Xen support.

SeaBIOS is called by Xen's hvmloader which does the basic platform setup (PCI, APIC, etc) and provides the various BIOS tables. Therefore avoid re-doing that setup and copy out the tables as necessary. A simple data structure is defined to pass the addresses of these tables. This patch also establishes the basic infrastructure to make hypercalls, although it currently only uses it to query the hypervisor version.

It looks okay to me. Thanks, -Kevin

The following enables support for running SeaBIOS as the virtual BIOS in a Xen HVM (fully-virtualised) guest.
In this series SeaBIOS is loaded by hvmloader (the Xen early firmware) rather than directly as was previously tried. This approach turned out to be far less intrusive on the SeaBIOS side and leaves knowledge of the virtual hardware setup encapsulated within hvmloader which is updated in lock step with the hypervisor and associated tools.
BIOS tables are built by hvmloader and passed to SeaBIOS via a simple in memory data structure. The tables are identified by scanning for their signatures which is hopefully extensible enough but the core structure can also be extended as necessary.
It looks okay to me.
Thanks. All the Xen side pieces are in place already (although not set in stone if you find something you would like done different). Ian.

Hi, yesterday i tried to boot Windows7 64bit with the new "Upstream Qemu with Seabios" HVM loader under xen unstable (yesterdays hg pull) The Windows Installer booted fine from the ISO (after enabling El-Torrito Emulation in Seabios menuconfig), but the Windows Installer soon gave up with a BSOD (STOP 0xA5), much like stated here http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS under "Windows". I have a Screenshot from the BSOD in case the adresses are of any interest. Any hints, or is this supposed to not work (yet) ? Greetings Tobias Am Dienstag, 14.

We haven't yet tested the whole range of possible guests and I haven't personally tried Windows 7 with new qemu+SeaBIOS. The Wikipage suggests that the issue is related to the ACPI tables and under Xen these are the same as those used by old qemu+ROMBIOS so it may not be the exact same issue. Have you tried the same OS under old qemu? (although I'm sure we would know already if Windows 7 support was broken in xen-unstable...) The screenshot would probably be useful to see. Ian.
