[SeaBIOS] [QEMU v6 PATCH 00/17] SMBIOS: build full tables in QEMU

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

New in version 6 of the patch set:

  - down to 17 patches (squashed adding spec v2.4 fields
    in together with adding v2.8 fields further down).

  - switching to monolithic aggregate tables plus entry point
    in patch 11/17, right after accomplishing full SeaBIOS
    compatibility (in 10/17).

  - Type 0 (bios info) structure continues to be optional. The BIOS
    is expected to supply its own Type 0 structure unless we force
    one to be provided via the command line.

Is *this* a hard requirement for merging ? I'm currently brainstorming
for ways to do this that won't be horrifyingly ugly, but so far everything
I managed to come up with makes me want to scratch my eyes out :)

Thanks,
