[Qemu-devel] [PATCH hack dontapply v2 0/7] Dynamic _CST generation

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Now that basic support for guest CPU PM is upstream, I started looking
for making it migrateable.  Since a VM can be migrated between different
hosts, PM info needs to change each time with move the VM to a different
host.

This adds infrastructure - based on Load/Unload - to support exactly
that: QEMU generates AML (changing it on migration) and stores it in
reserved memory, OSPM loads _CST from there on demand.

This is a partially functional prototype.

What works:
    loading _CST dynamically and reporting it to OSPM

What doesn't:
    detecting host configuration and generating correct _CST package
    notifying guest about the change to trigger _CST re-evaluation
    disabling mwait/halt exists as appropriate

  acpi: aml: add aml_register()
  acpi: generalize aml_package / aml_varpackage
  acpi: aml_load/aml_unload
  acpi: export acpi_checksum
  acpi: init header without linking
  acpi: aml generation for _CST
  pc: HACK: acpi: tie in _CST object to Processor
