[Qemu-devel] [PULL for-1.7 0/2] pc: e820 fw_cfg fixup.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

After some discussion with Andrea Arcangeli the initial
approach of extending the FW_CFG_E820_TABLE was scratched.
Unfortunaly that patch wasn't formally NACK'ed and became
commit 0624c7f916b4d97f17726d9b295d6a6b0dc5076d, so we
need to fixup the mess now, before 1.7.

The new approach is to leave FW_CFG_E820_TABLE alone and
add a new fw_cfg file instead, to avoid any compatibility
issues for sure (patch thread here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/238860).

This pull is the new-approach patch series rebased to latest
master (i.e. solve the conflict with
0624c7f916b4d97f17726d9b295d6a6b0dc5076d).

I suggest to pull this to fix things up.  The alternative is
to revert 0624c7f916b4d97f17726d9b295d6a6b0dc5076d and delay
the new interface to the 1.8 devel cycle.

cheers,
  Gerd
