What is to be validated ?
The tool can verify that the vendor/devid info in the room is even there (it is not in QEMU VGA BIOS) and then print the vendor/dev id, look it up, and print out what hardware that is.
Obvious errors such as devid of 0 could be flagged.
Where would I find documentation about a BIOS specification to validate option ROMs against ?
It's in the PCI spec. BUT: the PCI SIG STILL SUCKS: this stuff is not avalable to non-members even now. I just checked.
Older drafts may be available on the internet for free.
Any PCI spec will show it. But you have to get one.
Or you can cruise the pci rom bios code in coreboot -- it's pretty obvious what's going on there.
What about the following doc? http://www.msc-ge.com/download/pc-system/ipc-produkte/pisa/VGA%20BIOS%20CT%2...
