[Qemu-devel] Linux ACPI RSDT probe bug

[Fabrice Bellard]

Hi,

While moving the PCI, MP Table and ACPI table initialisation code to the 
Bochs BIOS, I found that even recent Linux kernels do not scan the ACPI 
RSDT table at the right addresses in the Extended BIOS Data Area. Does 
anyone know why it was never fixed ? It is very disturbing for QEMU 
because I would prefer not to patch the BIOS ROM to initialize the ACPI 
RSDT table.

Regards,

Fabrice.
