Thanks. However, we're planning a move of ACPI tables from SeaBIOS to QEMU. I think this should wait until after the move.

The device should be in QEMU 1.5, and the SSDT probably will still be in SeaBIOS by then (and might even be the last to move, since it's quite complex and dynamic). I don't think it is fair to block this patch on those grounds...

What is the user visible impact of not having a panic device?
My main concern is that the patch creates a new fw_cfg channel between qemu and seabios thats sole purpose is to alter the OS visible ACPI tables. These types of QEMU->SeaBIOS interfaces are fragile and are (in sum) quite complex.

Management cannot restart or dump the guest after a panic, and cannot log that a panic happened (as opposed to a random watchdog event).

Yes, this is true.

The patch uses existing channel between qemu and seabios, one romfile_loadint() is all it takes. We already have number of interfaces to change OS visible ACPI tables, that's why we want to move ACPI table creation to QEMU in the first place. It is unfortunate to start blocking features now before we have an alternative. When ACPI table creation will move into QEMU the code in this patch will be dropped along with all the other code that serves similar purpose.

Hi Gleb,
If there is a general consensus that this feature is important then we'll go forward with adding it as is. To be clear though, my preference would be to go forward with moving ACPI tables into QEMU, and then add this stuff on top of that. If no one beats me to it, I'll send some initial patches myself.
If we do merge this feature as is, it will also require a SeaBIOS release (followed by a SeaBIOS pull into QEMU). There weren't any short-term plans for a new SeaBIOS release - if this feature demands that then we need to start planning it now.

If we can accomplish the move before next major QEMU release we do not need this new fw_cfg file obviously. Paolo thinks this is not feasible, I haven't followed this work to close to have informed opinion.

It is always good to have latest BIOS with new QEMU release IMO, so lest plan it regardless.

I was hoping I'd get a chance to submit some QEMU patches for this before the soft-freeze, but unfortunately I have not been able to. Since I don't want to hold up features, I remove my earlier objection and I'm okay with committing this to SeaBIOS.
Hu Tao - if the QEMU part of the pvpanic series is committed to QEMU I'll commit the corresponding SeaBIOS parts.
Apologies for the delay. -Kevin
