[Qemu-devel] [RFC 1/2] hw/arm/virt: add a Calxeda XGMAC device

[Kim Phillips]

This is a hack and only serves as an example of what needs to be
done to make the next RFC - add vfio-platform support - work
for development purposes on a Calxeda Midway system.  We don't want
mach-virt to always create this ethernet device - DO NOT APPLY, etc.

Initial attempts to convince QEMU to create a memory mapped device
on the command line (e.g., -device vfio-platform,name=fff51000.ethernet)
would fail with "Parameter 'driver' expects pluggable device type".
Any guidance as to how to overcome this apparent design limitation
is welcome.

RAM is reduced from 30 to 1GiB such as to not overlap the xgmac device's
physical address.  Not sure if the 30GiB RAM (or whatever the user sets
it to with -m) could be set up above 0x1_0000_0000, but there is probably
extra work needed to resolve this type of conflict.

note: vfio-platform interrupt support development may want interrupt
property data filled; here it's omitted for the time being.
