[Qemu-arm] [PATCH v9 0/5] add ACPI node for fw_cfg on pc and arm

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

Generate an ACPI DSDT node for fw_cfg on pc and arm guests.

New since v8:

        - patch 3/5: on pc/x86, place FWCF node in scope \_SB.PCI0
          (instead of directly under \_SB), to prevent any possible
          resource conflict as might be observed by Windows
          (thanks again to Igor Mammedov for the suggestion!)

Thanks,
  --Gabriel

>         the ACPI node is now inserted into the DSDT (no longer the SSDT).
