Thanks. I pushed this patch to SeaBIOS head. -Kevin

Please excuse my asking, I haven't been following this -- who's supposed to call these methods? The latest guest kernel patch I managed to find ([PATCH v7] kvm: notify host when the guest is panicked -- probably obsolete by now) appears to do a direct outl(). Thanks, Laszlo

An old version calls WRPT but is buggy, so you see the outl version. This patch is in seabios before the outl version. If you think these methods are needless, feel free to send a patch.

I mean v19 by outl verson. Sorry for confusing.

Another question: are you planning to provide libvirt support? Currently I see the guest as paused after a crash. Since there is a crashed state in libvirt it might make sense to use that. Christian

Oh no, that's not what I meant! I'm just rounding up backport candidates :) Thanks! Laszlo

Yep, patch for libvirt is in progress.

After Drew located the guest kernel commit for me,
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=...
I can see this SeaBIOS patch *is* necessary -- even though the RDPT / WRPT methods are not used for port access, the port number itself is available from ACPI (\_SB.PCI0.ISA.PEVT._CRS, identified by the "QEMU0001" HID) to the kernel.
Hu, can you (and are you willing to) relicense this commit (seabios commit e9725dd7) under the 2-clause BSDL so I can port it to OVMF?
(Actually I'm somewhat confused because the first S-o-b is from Paolo. Since I share an employer with Paolo, getting permission from Paolo would be either quite easy or even unnecessary. Anyway it's better to ask!)
I and Hu did half of the patch each. :) But I think it's simpler to avoid OVMF and wait for the time when QEMU will produce the ACPI tables. Paolo
