[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] hw: better i440 emulation

[Bernhard M. Wiedemann]

attached is a tested 0.12.3-version of an old patch
http://xenon.stanford.edu/~eswierk/misc/qemu-linuxbios/qemu-piix-ram-size.patch
that together with
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg02390.html
(which is already in coreboot trunk) allows coreboot BIOS to autodetect the 
amount of RAM within qemu/kvm from a register in i440 northbridge.

The message on the old patch states:
Unfortunately the current version of qemu does not set these
registers, but I have patched qemu so that it emulates the i440 more
faithfully in this regard.



new patch is also available at
http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/qemu-0.12.3-piix-ram-size.patch

Please discuss or apply this patch.

regards
Bernhard M. Wiedemann
