[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2 V4] Virtual Machine Generation ID

[Gal Hammer]

Hi,

A two parts patch to add a QEmu support for Microsoft's Virtual Machine
Generation ID device.

The first one add a new ACPI directive which allow to use a 16-bytes
buffer in an ACPI table. This buffer is for storing the VM's UUID.

The second is the ACPI tables changes and the actual device.

Your comment are welcomed.

Thanks,

    Gal.

V4: - Move device's description to SSDT table (dynamic build).

V3: - Fix a typo in error message string.
    - Move device's description from DSDT back to SSDT table.

V2: - Remove "-uuid" command line parameter.
    - Move device's description from SSDT to DSDT table.
    - Add new "vmgenid" sysbus device.
