Hi,
What is the state of the qemu side patches btw?
I've them ready but they conflict with you 1Tb in e820 RFC, I can post relevant patches as soon as we agree on this topic. May I pick up your patch and post it along with pcimem64-start patches?
So for qemu we really need to merge them together with memory hotplug I think.
I'd prefer to not delay them until the full memory hotplug is ready to go though, for release planning reasons.
Once the pcimem64-$whatever patch is in (+apci-from-qemu) no additional support is needed in seabios to handle memory hotplug, correct?
So we can go prepare a seabios release when the interfaces are settled and merged, and continuing the work on memory hotplug can happen in parallel.
cheers, Gerd
