I do understand your desire to pass this stuff as parameters, but I really don't see it as feasible. I'm hoping that if you can write up some examples with specifics you'll either enlighten me or you'll see the difficulties I'm trying to describe.
Is your basic argument that generating these tables is hard, QEMU can and should just hard code them and change them whenever it feels like without involving SeaBIOS?
Yes - that's my basic argument. Generating the content in a way that is future proof (or future flexible) is very hard. The DSDT is particularly painful. I'm also afraid of introducing a lot of complexity when simply hardcoding the content (in the right place) is the better option.
If that's what it boils down to, I'll look more closely at it.
Thanks, -Kevin
