Another point of discussion is the ordering of the commits to seabios vs. qemu. We could commit the above patch now (without the q35 aml, and with the acpi-dsdt.aml file).
For q35, we could wait for the SeaBIOS bits to go in first, and then add the q35-acpi-dsdt.aml to pci-bios/. In that way, no special command line option will ever be required for q35 (except maybe -M pc_q35).
The alternative would be to commit both trees in parallel, and have users of q35 specify -L <bios dir with q35 dsdt table>, until the q35-acpi-dsdt.aml is added to qemu.
I could definitely see a strong case for the former option (waiting on SeaBIOS bits), but wanted to have an agreed on plan for this.
I don't think it's that important.
