I assume this is intended to fix the 'make check' failure with
your ITS patches? This needs to be part of the ITS patch series,
and it has to be a multi-step process. This is documented in
a comment at the top of tests/qtest/bios-tables-test.c --
basically you start with a commit that says "temporarily
differences in these tables are OK", then you have the commits
that add the changes to the system that cause the tables to
change (ie the patch which enables the ITS on the virt board),
and then after that you update the expected tables and remove
the bit that says "differences are OK".
