The virt machine in the NEMU project has the ambition to be a platform that has no emulated legacy hardware. This patch series enables support for that machine type in Seabios.
The impact that this has for a Seabios port is that the CMOS is not available to query details of CPUs or memory configuration; instead this patch series modifies the code that queries those details to prefer those from QEMU FW CFG over CMOS.
I've tested this patch series with pc, Q35 and virt as part of our automated testing for NEMU.
