Hi,
Option rom saga continued. This is the first series I consider ready for merging. Changes:
- pci roms: will be loaded via option pci rom bar.
- non-pci roms: will be loaded via fw_cfg.
Note that using the old bochs-bios based pc-bios will stop working with this patch series applied.
The last two patches of this series are *not* intended to be merged, they are just for testing convinience. They carry a new seabios binary and the changes needed and turn on bios debug messages in qemu.
Seabios patches will be posted shortly as separate patch series.
I know this series carries a good bit of risk but I'd like to bring it in 0.12.0. Because this has a guest visible change to the PCI devices, we cannot carry it in stable-0.12 post release and I think the functionality it brings it's very important. Otherwise, it's easy to trip up with using multiple nics and extboot in qemu-kvm.
Any objections?
Regards,
Anthony Liguori
